Gas 'n Go, a photo from Idaho, West

Photographer's Note

This shows a little of the character of some of things you might find in Idaho City Idaho. This was an old Chevy winch truck, 1950's vintage. The best I could tell it was still operational. The chrome gasoline cap and the chrome door handle represent the truck better than a full picture of the vehicle. The green hue was most excellent.

Excellent photo from Idaho! Wonderful composition. I like the chrome and green. Interesting to think what will become of today's GM trucks. Will they too end up like this one? Great post.

Sincerely,
Kate

Hi Dana. Well seen this detail of the vintage truck, with a good cropping to show the gas cap and the handle. Fun also to see you in the reflection. I like this one, well done.

I'm attaching a quick workshop for you, showing you a slightly more contrasty treatment of your image.

Hi Dana,
I like those graphic details, especially when they are as colorful and well-lit as this one. Well-spotted! Reminds me of a Gillian Welch & David Rawalings song called '455 Rocket'...even though it's about an oldsmobile...Well anyhow, I'm getting carried away so well done!

Sometimes the simple photos work the best. Nice.

Hi Dana,

Another beautiful image from this Chevy in Idaho. Clean image of this very sharp framing with you inside the gas tank cap.

TFS and best regards,
Jusni
