I was determined to get at least one decent photograph of this car on film. But how do you do that on a Saturday in the busiest building of one of the most visited and talked about cars at the 2023 GNRS? This was my challenge. . Standing out while surrounded by some of the highest dollar builds by the top builders in the world is a feat of its own and a task well accepted by owner Cobe Gewertz and Bill Ganahl of South City Rod and Custom. Rarely do you see so many grown men throw hilarious tantrums over the fact that this car wasn’t as they would have built it. The offence taken by so many was much need levity to me as I could only chuckle at the strong emotions expressed on both sides of the table. To me, true art should stir emotions and generates conversation, so I guess that this most definitely fits that definition. Personally, I love it. . Now, how to get a photograph that tells the story of an event, people and the Grand National Roadster Show. I like people in my photographs as it gives the photograph a context as well as visual interest to viewers 20, 50, 100 years from now. My only answer to capture what I hoped to was a long exposure and patience. I found the angle and perspective I wanted which ended up being at an angle on the floor in the next booth over. This middle-aged dude laid on the floor for almost an hour getting both concerned and funny looks as I waited for just the right amount of people in the shot to show activity but still being able to see the entire car. As the exposures were 13-15 seconds each it was a guessing game. So with my trusty Hasselblad and Kodak Portra 400 color film (of course this had to be in color) I took my chances. Which do you prefer? . #hotrod #hotrodculture #color #churchequiped #ford #GNRS #pomona #california #southcityrodandcustom #scottphotoco #analog #film #ishootfilm #hasselblad #mediumformat #square www.ScottPhoto.co (not .com) ©2023 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED (at Pomona Fairplex) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpLvGnov1SO/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Snorri seems to have appropriated my @southcityrodandcustom shirt as his new blanket. (I can't blame him, it's very comfortable 😊When can we expect the dog shirts...? 😜) #naptime #pug #pugsofinstagram #pugstagram #dogsofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/B7B493-Hua7/?igshid=ow3vfsfoyjz8

Alan and I had a couple very strange conversations. We talked about about water surface tension, ‘50s timepieces, Bakelite, and Jones Motrola tachs (photo by @southcityrodandcustom). What we came up with started a series of very fortunate events and took us on a journey with @classic_instruments and @customchromeplating . #eBlackaDesignCo #EndlessPursuitOfTheTimeless #VintageAutomotiveDesign #eBlackSpecialProjects #history #tradition #timeless #HAMB #hopuplive (at E Black Design) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn1aOKylbPQ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=20wtaofspwjy
