MY ENTRY THIS WEEK

A hand written diary from June 27, 1913 (sepia).

A Tractor. Notice on the right notice Chris’s arm sticking up behind the tires. Chris is 5”7″ and totally hidden.

I would put this photo in the top three of my all time favorite black and white photos that I have.

A Marines helicopter.

No one does cars as well as you do. You catch that shine better than anyone. All your pictures are good or better, but when you do antique cars, they make me want to jump into the picture 🙂
