Thanks for your kind comments. I love this photo & the title is perfect. totally abandoned beauty being swallowed by the tall grass! It was in the middle of the field, not by the roadside!

I have enhanced this photo with photoshop since posting this version that has no photoshop enhancements...but I hand painted the color cibachnrome print with the retouching dyes that come with the process. That's what I used to do before the magic of photoshop

Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo about 30 years ago in a field in Hawaii

Time

Mid day

Lighting

It was bright light & a washed out car in the weeds ..... I knew I would be painting it bright colors!

Equipment

I was an old school Nikon only camera user!

Inspiration

I have a series of old cars called Joy Rides & Dream Machines...it was an exhibit that started in LA & traveled all over the US & Europe too. I ended up having a three year show of 40 Joy Rides at the Peterson Auto Museum! A book "Jane Gottlieb's Dream Machines" was published by Viking Press in 1991! I still show this series.

Editing

I used to hand paint with retouching dye on ciibachrome prints! Now I scan & paint & collage & enhance with photoshop, & for the last 4 years I have been making archival dye sublimation prints on aluminum.

In my camera bag

Diigital Sony infinity 6000 with fish eye, wide Ange & telephoto interchangeable lens.

Feedback

Just take you time & shoot everything from lots of angles, have fun & play with the magical photoshop.
