Speed, style, & beauty, revisited

rutt

Erik (Dr. It) Miller and I went to "Hoods Up" night at the MFA's show "Speed, Style, & Beauty", a exhibit of some of Ralph Lauren's collection of cars. Hoods Up was way cool, not only because we could see the engines, but because it attracted the true motor heads.



Reflections in the “Count Trossi” Mercedes-Benz SSK from 1930.




A look under the Porsche 959.




And under the 1938 Alfa Romeo 8C 2900 Mille Miglia.




Happy as a pig in s**t!




Dr. It with my brother-in-law. One might grow up to be the other, do you think?

I love this photo!



Besides being a great car picture, the father and child are priceless!

Maybe a KPOTD?:D

Nice post, Rutt

Hi Sweetie









Great set, Rutt! Now I don't even have to bother processing mine And, you might be right, I gotta work on the hanging out of tall buildings though

Thanks, Erik. I haven't processed the one you picked, but it looks good to me now that you did pick it. Funny how that is. Anyway, the whole gallery is here, in case someone else wants to see these beasts with their hoods up:

Actually, I was thinking Ben might grow up to be you.

Better without the stroller?


It was a lot of just the sort of photoshop work I like least. I'd like feedback.

Yes, it is not a snapshot anymore when you take away the stroller. That is not a word I like to disparage, but I am too tired for semantics.

The only problem, though, with taking away the stroller, I find it more difficult to take note that it is a child looking under the car. The child part, imitating the adult, or the opposite, is even funnier than the fact that everyone seems to be looking under cars.

They must ride low on the road, if the engine is below that platform.

Don't go through water, if you buy one.

I love the PS stuff you do on red cars. If I ever need one done, I will send it to you.

great photo!

without spell check I really am lost. some people may be lurking because they are embarrassed that they can't spell, either.

Wonderful image. I like the pj aspect with the stroller. Very clear that this is a baby imitating dad- priceless.
