Here’s a cool lit­tle place in Geor­gia that I hadn’t heard of until recently — Old Car City. A cou­ple of months ago I joined a group of pho­tog­ra­phers that was vis­it­ing the site. Yes I know… it took me this long to blog about it but hey, I got a lit­tle busy ;) This is not the sort of thing I usu­ally shoot so I was excited about the challenge.

When I got there I imme­di­ately noticed the abun­dance of mos­qui­toes. Thank good­ness some­one else had the sense to bring insect repel­lent. So need­less to say, they imme­di­ately became my best friend. haha. It quickly was made known that we were to watch out for snakes and ground-level bee nests — another detail I wasn’t aware of but I guess given the con­di­tion of the cars, it’s to be expected. I did men­tion this isn’t my reg­u­lar sort of photo shoot didn’t I? The best way to avoid snakes, other than just not shoot­ing there, was to not dis­turb the cars. Mean­ing, that if a car hood was closed you don’t want to open it and shake what’s in it ;)

We spend sev­eral hours there just soak­ing in the gobs of tex­tures avail­able. They had some really cool mus­cle cars in their orig­i­nal shells includ­ing the Mus­tang my dad once owned. Here are just a few shots from the day.
