Embarrassed to say Mary, but I actually took this one-handed with a point and shoot from the confines of my cherished Toyota Tundra. It was raining (not Iguanas) and I also had prior information the owner of the truck and the property is a gunsmith. Sooo not wanting to get shot or wet, I guess you could say I did my own drive-by shooting. One thing for sure I got lucky with the outcome. Personally, I love this photo.
An excellent photo, though with a scary kind of stillness as though the driver just might have been lying in wait....Especially after reading some of your words!!!
Enjoyed this, John. From the picture it would also seem that the aging gentleman is sitting in an aging truck.

ReplyDeleteIt is a wonderful photo and sits so well with the poem. Nicely done on both :)
ReplyDeleteIt has an impressionistic feel to it. The red on the tree with the dots of red elsewhere in the photo really makes it feel painterly. Very nice.
ReplyDeleteTeresa, I almost cropped that red out. Something tapped me on the shoulder and said leave it, leave it be. I am glad I listened.
ReplyDeleteVery cool photo and oh, do I ever love the greenness of your site, and the lovely tree trunks down near the bottom........
