TtV, autumnal, chameleon car

This photo unites three of my photographic obsessions right now. It features a “Through the Viewfinder” of a brownie starflex camera, Autumn colours and a chameleon car.

Another Chameleon Car

I’ve been well busy these last few days, so i’m posting two pix today. This is the latest from my Chameleon Car set.

Chameleon Car

I’ve been taking photos of cars that blend in with where they’re parked for the last couple of years in Guadalajara. People have even started sending me examples by email. Anyway, there’s about 100 in the set now. A year ago I made a video of them. It’s probably time to have another go soon.

Any chance you could vote for me with the button to the right, below. It’s a vanity photo competition that might drive a bit more traffic this way. Only if you like the photos though. Thanks!

A year ago or more I started my “Cars that resemble where they’re parked” Flickr set that then spawned a video and now I’m getting submissions from Jorge, Ana’s son. Which is grand.

Aquí van las fotos de Jorge de carros cameleones por el Parque Metropolitano de GDL:

Gracias, Jorge!

Other news. Temperatures have finally plunged. Rain’s expected daily and all is right with the meteorological world. Atticus is a bit out of sorts though, I think it’s the drop in atmospheric pressure.

Went to see Inland Empire, David Lynch’s latest from last year, yesterday. But I had to leave after an hour or so cos the cinema was packed, badly air conditioned and I’m not a huge Lynch fan at the best of times. Anyroad, it started off OK for what it’s worth. I’ll catch it on DVD at a later date.

M & D leave for Bucerias today not far from Chacala. Maybe Atticus has picked up on that and is anticipating missing them… And we’ve got a few days to finish off various things before next weekend’s fun with Sally and Martin. So

Chamelon Cars- Ongoing photography project

Cars come in pretty much the same colour in most countries, but in Mexico, the same colours are used for painting houses. It’s natural to suppose that if someone buys a red car, then they’re likely to paint their house red too. Maybe. I’m not sure if this is statistically significant but there’s a selection up on Flickr, click any of these photos for a look. Anroad, my latest quest is for shots of chamelon cars, that try and blend in with their surroundings…
