Another overcast day here (or, “winter”), and so I decided to play around with overexposing photographs. I like to take colorful pictures, full of contrast. That doesn’t work on overcast days — the clouds diffuse sunlight and make the world into a flat, boring blob. Overexposing photographs makes the world white instead of gray, and hopefully gives you some cool effects.
This here is a classic Plymouth. There’s a whole classic/antique car culture in California, which I didn’t know about until I moved here. Last night, we saw an original British mini. It’s pretty common to see fully refurbished and glittery classic cars on Saturday nights, when hobbyists take them out for joy rides. A guy down the street from us has a 1940’s woodie convertible that he takes out on Sunday afternoons. Inevitably, an hour later, we see him and a gang of volunteers rolling it back into his workshop.
