"The Intrepid Photographer"

[DemoTex]

The only other soul I saw during this blizzard shoot in north Texas last month. He sprinted out from his van, and sprinted back. Apologized to me on the way to take his shot, but I said "No problem," knowing I'd get this shot.

He probably took five shots with his cell phone. I took about 1000 with two cameras, warming up in my truck every fifteen minutes, or so.

1. Cool!

What am I seeing here? Are those colorfully-painted shells of vehicles that have been embedded in the ground?

3. Cadillac Ranch

A work done in 1974 by members of the Ant Farm art group of San Francisco. It is ten Cadillacs buried nose-first in a field outside Amarillo, Texas. The paint changes almost daily (in good weather), as visitors bring cans of spray paint and add to years of paint layers.

4. Thanks for the explanation!

Now I know what Cadillac Ranch is all about.

2. Very nice picture.

I am wondering why you take so many pictures of a single scene ? Is it to capture just the right light as it changes over time ?
