Boot Hill is a small private junk yard in Butte (along the way to Palmer). Driving the Old Glenn Highway past the Butte, Boot Hill emerges from the trees with an eclectic collection of classic cars in various stages of decomposition. Front and center in the lot is a small ferris wheel. But it's not really a ferris wheel in the modern sense. It's more like a swingset on steroids.
What's a photographer to do, but shoot the ferris wheel?

While others were shooting in the midst of the rusty, lichen covered wrecks, I managed to eke out a few minutes with a pinup style Brittani, and a beautifully restored '52 Chevy Coupe.

No heads up display or GPS, but that's a pretty good looking model there. Car model. What did you think I was saying? (Just kidding Brittani - you are awesome!)
Extra bonus shot - I had my daughter along for this shoot, and managed to corral her in an old El Camino for a couple of minutes before we left.
Add this to the list of things that make me happy.
Denny, did you create a FB page for your business? That's a great way to keep current and share with folks. You can also add galleries of your photos in albums. Just a thought. Are you going to do a commercial print business or personal photos? Gorgeous stuff! Love the antique cars in the pics!

Thanks Ingrid. Haven't done the FB thing yet. At this point I'm mostly focused on personal portraits, but would be open to commercial assignments.
ReplyDeleteDenny,
ReplyDeleteWe have a 1994 Camaro bright red that we used to show. When the weather gets better and we take it out of hibernation, you can shoot if you want. When my 911 gets here same thing. These are wonderful.
OOoo - that sounds like fun Angela. Will take you up on that this summer!
