Joy Ride
Another self portrait. Ya…I’m desperate for models.
Took a little work to mount the camera in the dash and eliminate any shake for the multiple exposure. A freshly paved road also helped!
If you can’t laugh at yourself…who can you laugh at?
I meant to add this and forgot. This was my inspiration…
My pappy said “Son your gonna drive me to drinkin’
If you don’t stop driving that hot rod Lincoln”
Have you heard the story of the hot rod race
Where the Fords and the Lincolns were setting the pace?
Well that story is true cause I’m here to say
I was driving that model A.
It’s got a Lincoln motor and its really souped up
And that model A body makes it look like a pup
It’s got eight cylinders, uses them all
It’s got overdrive, just won’t stall
It’s got a four barrel carb, and dual exhaust
With foureleven gears you can really get lost.
It’s got safety tubes, but I ain’t scared
Breaks are good, tires fair
Pullin out of San Pedro late one night
With the moon and the stars just shinin bright
We was headed up grapevine Hill
Passing cars like they was standing still
All of a sudden, in the wink of an eye
A Cadillac sedan passed us by
I said “Boys this ones marked for me”
But by then the tail lights was all you could see
Now the fellas rid me for being behind
So I thought I’d let that Lincoln unwind
Took my foot of the gas and man alive
I shoved it on down into over drive
Wound it up to 110
My speedometer said I hit top end
My foot was glued like lead to the floor
That’s all there is, and there ain’t no more
Now the boys all thought that I’d lost my sense
Those telephone poles looked like a picket fence
They said “Slow down, I see spots!”
The lines on the road just looked like dots
Took a corner, side swiped a truck
Crossed my fingers just for luck
My fenders was clicking the guard rail post
The guy beside me was white as a ghost
We had smoke coming from out of the back
When I started gainin on that Cadillac
I knew I could catch him, I thought I could pass
But don’t you know by then we’d be low on gas
I had flames coming from out of the side
Feel the tension, man what a ride
I said “Look out boys, I’ve got a license to fly”
And that Caddy pulled over and let us by
All of the sudden she started knocking
Down in the dips she started rocking
I looked in the mirror. Red lights were blinking
The cops was after my Hot Rod Lincoln – Damn
The arrested me and they put me in jail
Called my pappy to throw my bail
And he said “Son, you’re going to drive me to drinkin’
If you don’t stop driving that Hot Rod Lincoln”

I’ve been looking at thumbnails of your portraits for a while now, but never commented because I’ve been too busy laughing (that’s a good thing!). This one’s my favorite. There is so much to look at without being overwhelming. You’re expression is so maniacally happy, it’s almost scary! Great work!

Brian Nicholson, 10 months ago
I’ve looked at this a few times now and I had to comment this time. you have an awesome sense of adventure in this shot combined with a top notch sense of humour. the expressions of a mad man (said in the highest regard) are awesome. makes me think it is what it must be like auditioning for a circus clown job. well executed
