Another touch of nostalgia – this time a hood ornament from the 1930s juxtaposed with the hood of a faded, rusted gray car. My photographic style is attuned to the flow of light and shadow upon my subjects. In this case, light and shadow sculpt the ornament and hood into an embodiment of “streamlining” – a 1930s design form that presents little resistance to the flow of air, increasing speed and ease of movement. Form meets function in the design of the automobile – and the flow of light and shadow here embody the flow of air embracing the vehicle. The soft color palette subdues the image, allowing the illusion of airflow to slip around and through the image without competition.
