Ideal Job September 22, 2009
Posted by Emily in : My Handsome Husband, New York, Photography, Thoughts , 4commentsWe woke up last Saturday to a parking lot of antique/classic cars filling every square foot of Main Street.
Hannah thought her birthday had come early, you know, because all those people with nice cars must be there for her.
Dallin was just happy to scream at the top of his lungs to the people below shining up their cars.
He likes to be heard.
There were over 230 cars to see. I don’t know the first thing about cars, so please, don’t ask me what makes and models each of these cars are.
David asked me to photograph this car for his dad. Apparently, his dad owned one of these back in the day.
I don’t know much about these cars (except that they are probably worth a lot) but I did find it fun to shoot them. It took a serious amount of creative energy to figure out how to compose “car” shots. I was up, down, and all around the vehicles analyzing the light, just trying to figure out how to frame each car.
I was tired after this shoot I can tell you that.
I can also say that I enjoyed shooting cars and I learned a ton.
Oh my, there are endless things to photograph. What am I going to be when I grow up? A child photographer? A commercial photographer? Am I going to pursue fine art? I really love shooting places too . . .
Maybe someone will just hire me to travel the world and let me shoot whatever the heck I want.
Yeah, that sounds like a good job.
