Truck Stop

June 23rd, 2008 · 2 Comments

Onward and onward… I’m sitting at the airport in Des Moines with 30 minutes to spare, waiting for my plane to take me back to California. After the show in Milwaukee I went out shooting with a young, local photographer, Mark Adgate. I’m thrilled about the one shot we did! It will be on-line in a few weeks (unless my schedule knocks me out first). I knew I had a great shot, so I worked it hard, adding plenty of my lighting, and doing various exposures… I found an old truck, fifty or sixty years old, slowly becoming one with the earth. It had been sitting in this alley for years, maybe decades waiting for its close-up. On the truck’s bed was another old truck in even worse condition, having been in a fire. All of this glory in an old alley that I would have stared at in admiration even without the trucks. We finished at 1:30am, and I got on the road for Des Moines. I’m running on a few hours of sleep in the front seat of the van, and on my great friend: 5-hour Energy Drink!!!
