Vintage Signs and Meeting Interesting People

One of the things I love about being a photographer is how it's a passport to meeting people.  Outside Jack's Diner in Albany, NY, I was approached by someone asking about the photo I was making.   It turns out he was a painter who restores painted signs on buildings and he was prepping to work on the American Glass lettering in this image.

Here's a photograph I made of the interior while I ate a great breakfast.

Photographs were made with a Fuji x100s.

Another Spring for this Chevy Special Deluxe

Emerging from the snowpack to see another spring is this rusted up old Chevy Special Deluxe. Somewhere near Gilead Maine.  The car has a sticker on the vent window from the Newport, Rhode Island Naval Base in 1955.   Imagine all the winding roads this car took in 60 years to go from Newport to this field in Gilead, Maine?  There's amazing story in there somewhere.
