There is a truck in my neighborhood. It's an old truck. I don't know nearly enough about cars to be able to begin to tell you anything interesting about it (nor could I find anything that piqued my non-car-loving interest on the internet), but I do know it's a Chevrolet Apache 10. Oh, and the color of the truck is amazing.
I took some shots of the truck today, as I walked around the neighborhood. I frequently bring my camera with me as I walk, and I often find interesting things to shoot, but I don't always take the shot that I want.
Check out those rims! The color or this truck makes me want to eat ice cream.
I wonder about the owners of the things I want to photograph. If I looked out my window one day, and saw someone in my front yard taking pictures, it would be a little creepy. I definitely don't want to be that person. And yet, this truck is just sitting there, being all minty, begging to be my model.
So, then, what to do? Mostly, I just keep my camera to myself, or stick to shooting things that are definitely hanging over into the realm of the sidewalk. Or, I walk past the same thing over and over again before I get up the courage to take a picture. Like with the truck. It's been parked in front of the same house for at least 10 years. I finally took pictures of it today.
What have you always wanted to take a picture of?

Great pics! There is an old truck not too far from our house that I have wanted to take pictures of for a while now. Its kind of a teal blue color, and a little rusted up, but still really cute! 2/1/2012 03:50:40 am

Gorgeous shots! I simply love the colour of that truck. I often wonder what people think when they see me in the street taking pictures of radom things with my camera. But then I am considered rather odd without a camera. 2/3/2012 01:16:35 am
I LOVE old trucks too. Like you, I don't know much about them, but I love to look at them and ooohhh and ahhhh... 2/5/2012 02:13:47 pm
I love old cars and trucks! This one is very cool Yay for getting up the courage! I totally get you wondering what the owners think.... there are a couple of old trucks just down the street and I have sneaked a few photos of them and been caught..... they looked out the door at me and gave me strange looks.... i turned away and took a picture of a tree and a dog.
