Thanks LIzzie for the comments and the wishes. They’re both very much appreciated.

G’day Kurt,

I remember way back in my boyhood that these were the cars which stopped people in their tracks any time anyone saw them on the streets of Newcastle, NSW, Australia.

You have done a great job with this one mate.
For a start the subject you chose is a real ripper and your great point of view shows it off extrememy well and makes it all the more interesting and gives it all the more impact.
Add to that great lighting/exposure/processing, good focus and depth of field, good contrast and vivid colour and this Ford is a real winner!

Ya know, that’s why I love to shoot cars. People have memories of these things. They’re like a familiar smell that just evokes memories and emotion. Dennis, thanks so much for your critique and comments; they’re sincerely appreciated.
Larry Llewellyn

Kurt Golgart replied

So I think I know what you went through a couple of weeks ago. It was quite a day. So far holding my grandson in my arms isn’t that much different from holdin my own children – nothing matches the feeling. Thanks so much for commenting on this one.

DWarren

Gorgeous ‘58…......and as sticky says,”goes on forever.” Love this capture….
These beautiful cars (‘50’s- ‘60”s) and the music that went along with them make the whole era so special.
Kurt Golgart replied

Thanks Dyle. For sure the 50s and 60s were special – most particularly the music. But for sheer class and style I like cars of the 30s.
Rebecca Cozart

Whoa…this is a stunner. Thank you for your kind comments. Yours are inspirational too!!!
Kurt Golgart replied

Thank you too for your kind comments.
