Description Desperado

You better
let somebody
love you
before
its too late. -The Eagles- (D. Henley, G. Frey, 1973, © Electra Entertainment)

This is a re-process of an image I took in 2007.  The print, was part of "An Olde Ride - Classics in the Rough"  which toured Manitoba, Canada from 2008 to 2012 showing in 14 galleries. 


The show was featured nationally in "More of Our Canada" magazine in 2011.

Unfortunately, new pictures of this truck, which I consider beautiful, are not possible because it has been removed.  So what we have left are the memories.  Like the song says... "You better let some body love you, before its too late."

I love this picture. Reminds of what we would see around here in Michigan back in the woods. And the Eagles??? In my travels I had the chance to stand on the corner on Winslow Ariz and they actually have built a monument there. Can you guess who is driving by there??? Check it out at my pbase gallery.

thanks Phil,

Yup....as soon as I took the picture I knew what i wanted to call it...and then the song started to play in my head. I have not been able to get rid of it for weeks. maybe now that it is posted, the melody will abate...to be replaced by another of course

have a good weekend.

very nice. it might be a bit darker (yeah it's my obsession to make this kind of photos a bit darker than it should be) but colours are great and this car is great I hope I'll be able to find wreck like that

thanks Kuba...

My pictures are designed to show the full level of detail from non detail black to non detail white. (The back inside of the car is black without detail and the grass in front has lost detail.) If I darken the image at all, even more detail in the shadows will be lost.

Photography is an exercise in compromise, and that is why I like it. This image did not have full sun, so creating a full range was a challenge.

Also I make my images to be printed. This means that some detail is lost in 8bit reproduction, and when going to paper even more. My monitors are calibrated to show what a print will look like when it is made. They are also calibrated to show a full range or white to black. (If you are interested I can send you a site that will help you do that on your monitor, but I warn you, it takes some getting used to) So I can understand that if your monitor is different, the results will not be the way i see them.

Thanks again for your comment, and have a good weekend.

When I was a child, this would have been some place I would have played, alone, for endless, endless hours! Thanks for awakening some pleasant dreams and memories!

I agree dave, I think it might just not even be restorable.
