Drive-In

It’s the drive-in outside of Midland. I took some pictures of this with my Graflex 6×9 in B&W, so I hope they turn out better.

Don’t want to disagree with your ‘better’ prediction, but sometimes you just hit the spot. To my mind, you’ve done it again, here. Very simple – hard to believe it’s not a silk-screen print – ‘uncomposed’, and magic. Real Feel.
Love this… But, you got to tell me… Did you wish there had been some older cars in the foreground?
Thanks Robin.
And John, I think you read my mind. Funny thing is, I saw a plethora of older cars while I was there. Not like cool old cars… just old ones, like if you were to keep a 1990 Honda Civic for another 20 years and keep it in decent shape. But it was mostly minivans and trucks at the drive-in.
I like the simple look of the shot. Maybe it has more to do with the slight color change instead but it is nice.
How did my pictures turn out?
I just developed the film last night. I’ll be posting it in the next few days. I think it turned out pretty well.
