ruby slippers

I leave the garland street fair with this shot



this was one of the stores on the street so very appropriately named.  it was a shoe store that just couldn't make it with this economy.  now it is owned by the tin man gallery but I think they leave the sign because it is just so appropriate for the street.  I hope they don't ever take it down.

dreaming

yeah that's me.  I look tall in this shot wohoooo well I am not only 5'1"   but thought it was fun  and most certainly not the pinup girl in the first shot.  loved how they put that only posted in the hood of the car.

red hot

this was a fun car to photograph at the garland street fair here are a few of my favorite shots








and in keeping with the theme of red what is a red catty without a set of horns??

fuel ?????

how is this for fueling up an engine??




at the car show at the garland street fair that was one engine.  thought that was cute.

and thought this was a great way to hold up a hood

back in business!!!

yep Ferguson's is back in business and of course we had to stop in for lunch.  this 50's style diner was the victim of a yet uncaught arsonists.  back in September of last year. its a favorite spot for some good old home cooking run by a local family.  also damaged and reopened earlier this year was the milk bottle one of I think 2 milk bottle shaped building left in town.  the garland street milk bottle is a favorite spot for ice cream.

not the best picture taken during the fair and lots of people.  I will have to make it out one night to shoot it at night

32 roadster

my grandma once told me that her first car was a 32 roadster it was black and had a rumble seat and she paid for it all by herself from jobs as a seamstress.  while at the garland street fair they had a small car show and this of course was my favorite.  the above shot was done with my iphone and than with instagram I added a bit of tilt shift to it.

this was shot with my nikon
