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?

This is so true, I think we often over look the wonderful things that are right on our doorstep. When we see them everyday we tend to stop actually seeing them and just look through them.

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!

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.

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...

I've always wanted to take pictures of covered bridges. Which is odd, b/c I'm not very fond of bridges, but covered ones are pretty darn awesome.

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.
