“The Mother Lode” 1989

I couldn’t believe my eyes. Some guy had a rig full of ’59 Caddies which he probably bought for next to nothing, and was taking them north one night many moons ago…What a steal!

BRIGHT FOOD SHOP 1985

The 7-UP signs are probably why I took this picture. This little restaurant became a very popular spot in the 1990’s and closed in 2007…

NYC 1988

Did you notice that the bad guy in “Fury Road” the Mad Max film, rode around in a vehicle with two ’59 Caddies sandwiched on top like Horseshoe crabs mating? I didn’t think so…

This negative was processed by one of those one hour labs which were everywhere back in the ’80s. They left so much dust ingrained in the film, that I spent well over an hour cleaning this frame up before scanning it. I think it was time well spent…

The Knockout…Outtake 1989

It took me 27 years to notice this frame which was on a different strip of film. I’ve overlooked quite a few images, and I’m glad I decided to finally revisit my old negatives…
