When I started taking these TtV photos, something clicked. Usually I’m not a huge fan of the pictures I take in Seattle. I think it’s the light – they lack contrast and the colors don’t pop. When I looked at these pictures I realized, that’s just what you need. With an old cruddy camera, scratches and rust on the viewfinder, the square format with the visible prism edge, you expect muted colors and gray days. Shooting this Caddy (admittedly still a little modern for the technique) just seems to work. Compare it with another shot, on the same day, of something a little more modern - am I making this up or are you with me?

One of the guys who lives in my complex. It stands out pretty easily against the other cars around here. Luckily since it started snowing, he’s had the good sense to keep it parked.
