Door Handle Abstracts

I spend a lot of my time looking for new and interesting images by framing things we see every day and putting a frame around them.  On my trip to the Palouse last June, I spent a lot of time looking at abandoned things and especially cars and trucks.  This image was taken through a driver’s side window of an old truck and then I did a little post-processing magic.  I love the texture and that it takes a minute to figure out what you are looking at.  I have a few more like this that I will publish soon.

Only In The Palouse

The Palouse offers up a lot of things.  While photographing there last week we came across this barn.  As we were shooting the owners of the barn came out and were real interested in what we were doing.  They went to great lengths to get this old car out of the barn and place it where we could take a picture of it with the barn as a background.  I did this image with my iPhone.

Old Truck

This truck and shed remain unchanged even after fifty plus years

For years I have visited the Palouse in Washington.  It is a beautiful area with rolling hills and all sorts of surprises like old trucks in fields and abandoned houses.  Every year for the last n6 years I visited this one location and I am amazed that it is still there and has never been vandalized or even removed.  There is a small farm along one of the main roads.  You can’t miss it as the barn is collapsing  in on itself.  Off to the side is a small shed and this truck sits in the shed unchanged for 50 plus years.  It is like one day someone just left and all the things they were working on were just left as is.  This is typical of a number of places you find in the Palouse.

In the Palouse as mentioned in previous posts there are a lot of abandoned trucks and cars, not to mention houses. This shot was made at the Texeco station where the owner collects old trucks.  I loves the color, rust and especially the lines of the headlight and truck.  So retro, so nice.  Shot with a Fuji XT-1.

While in the Palouse I have a favorite place I like to visit every time.  It is an old Texaco Station that was moved to a location of a mechanic.  He also has collected a large number of old trucks.  You could spend several hours at this location shooting all there is on the property.  This is a long lens shot I mad of the truck cabs.

Old Trucks

Old Truck Near Skamania, WA

Seems on my last few trips I have been finding a lot of old trucks wherever I go.  I love old stuff, rust and decay.  Can’t get enough of it.  During my sons wedding weekend we went out exploring and came upon a place with a lot of old rusty trucks and things.  So, naturally I had to take some photos.  Because of the light – heavy overcast, light drizzle I did HDR 2 under, over and normal exposures on my Canon 5dII.  This image is the first of a few taken at just this one stop.  Look for more in the coming days.

Also, in a week I will be in Ireland leading a PODAS workshop with 15 photographers.  I’ll be posting from there so stay tuned.  You can also follow the trip at the PODAS BLOG.
