Description Trucks like these were workhorses in their day. But now, like their counterparts, their work is over. Somehow though, it does not seem like the truck is finished, there remains a sense of hope, for just as the horse has found a worthy place in our society as a means of joy and recreation, so too this ancient mount may one day also find his joy in restoration.

Tonight I was at a live concert with a small group of people in a private home. This was the first song that Kat Goldman sung and it reminded me so much of this truck, that I had to include the lyrics with this submission. I hope you enjoy them.


Sing Your Song - by Kat Goldman

all of these days
waiting for something magical to happen
friends of mine
they think i’m living,
living in a dreamers land

well, maybe they’re right
it’s really just a dream this life
now that i’ve seen it from the other side

you’ve got to be here
in the moment before it’s gone
all you have to do is sing your song

such a loner
still I gotta’ learn to stay in the center of the sound

maybe i died
and come right back to life
all I know for sure
is that I wanna survive

you gotta be here
in this moment before it’s gone
all you have to do is sing your song

but you started to doubt
you made it so hard on yourself
when all you had to do was
sing your song

Alas, poor thing. It has been many colors in the past but I'm afraid it's last color may be rust.

A wonderfully done composition, Wayne.

A really nice picture, if a little sad. It's a shame to see vehicles like this just left to rot. But at least there is still beautiful in it. Those colours are so vibrant and striking. Very nice indeed.

Good work!

thanks Tom,

My feeling is that this guy could still be easily salvaged. Given that it is over 50 years old, that is an amazing thing.

I don't know...this picture reminded me of Adam Sandler's song, "Ode to my Car." There's a line in in where he sings, "Seven different colors." Even though the singer hates his car, at least it runs, which is more than this truck can claim... It would definitely be wonderful to see this back on the road again...albeit with a consistent, clean paint job.

WayneBenedet In reply to HerrDrayer [2008-03-20 17:39:56 +0000 UTC]

...I wonder if it will ever make it? I too would like to see it restored, but that requires the right person (definitely not me) and the right amount of know how, (again not me).

HerrDrayer In reply to WayneBenedet [2008-03-20 21:41:42 +0000 UTC]

People are easy to find, know-how is relatively easy to obtain. The challenge is finding the money and the time...

I love how the blue paint still left on the truck gives it that bit of life that makes a person wonder... what could it be, if it was given a lot of TLC. You're right, this machine is not done yet

thanks Lindsay,

I have been using some new processing techniques that retain detail is shadows and highlights. I will outline the process in my journal over the next month if you are interested.

hi RJ,

I have a few of this guy. I have not processed them yet, this was the best. If you need to see the others, send me an e-mail and I will quickly process them..not the same quality of this one, and not the same size but it will give you and idea of whats there.

Wonderful shot. I don't really like American cars, but as I see it, this is not really about cars.
I love it. You're a great photographer.

WayneBenedet In reply to iusufachi [2008-03-19 21:13:54 +0000 UTC]

lol....

I should probably not confess this...but I know almost nothing about cars. I love taking shots of them, but I really have difficulty distinguishing one from another. And you are very right, few of my shots really relate to the item pictured. As is the case with this shot.

Did you by any chance read the song lyrics or check out Kats site? She is a very interesting singer song writer.
