I continue to work on this series of old trucks, can't help it, it's an addiction.

I am also starting to experiment with B&W processing, something I have wanted to try for a while.

Critique and suggestions valued.

I don't know where I'm going, but I'm going anyway.

Luck happens when preparation meets opportunity!

    At first glance, I thought this was a little bit too dark for my taste. But then I realized that the character of the "old man" wouldn't have come through had it been much lighter. His nose is bent sideways and he has a snarl on his face - like an old fighter. Love it. clap.gif
