Random goodness...
'83 Ford Mustang GTP.
Flieger's hellraiser on Mulholland...
There's a good article about Delta Integrale's in this month's Octane magazine.
Love Magnus his place. Can't wait to go back to L.A...
Walter Rohrl is returning to Pikes Peak this year... Will we be seeing Ari Vatanen also...?
Chevrolet Apaches and the Bonneville Salt Flats. Two of the coolest things our automotive world has to offer. Hope to go back to B'ville next year......
Nascar madness. You've got to love watching pitstops..
I remember driving behind a similar Vette when we left last year's Oldtimer Grand Prix at the Nurburgring.... Wicked car!
It's always cool to see a hopped up Pantera on the street. Everytime I visit Huntington Beach I spot a few... Definitely a hot ticket car in SoCal.
An outtake shot of the Sutliffe 911S shoot I did for total 911 last year. More shots here: DutchmanPhotos

Edward Burtynsky Photography Works
While doing a little shopping with the lady the other day, I came across one of Edward Burtynsky's photography books. It became hard for me to put the book down in the store so naturally I bought it and took it with me. After doing a little search on the world wide web I found out a lot more about photographer Edward Burtynsky and his beautiful, highly inspirational work.
EXPLORING THE RESIDUAL LANDSCAPE
"Nature transformed through industry is a predominant theme in my work. I set course to intersect with a contemporary view of the great ages of man; from stone, to minerals, oil, transportation, silicon, and so on. To make these ideas visible I search for subjects that are rich in detail and scale yet open in their meaning. Recycling yards, mine tailings, quarries and refineries are all places that are outside of our normal experience, yet we partake of their output on a daily basis."
"These images are meant as metaphors to the dilemma of our modern existence; they search for a dialogue between attraction and repulsion, seduction and fear. We are drawn by desire - a chance at good living, yet we are consciously or unconsciously aware that the world is suffering for our success. Our dependence on nature to provide the materials for our consumption and our concern for the health of our planet sets us into an uneasy contradiction. For me, these images function as reflecting pools of our times."
"In 1997 I had what I refer to as my oil epiphany. It occurred to me that the vast, human-altered landscapes that I pursued and photographed for over twenty years were only made possible by the discovery of oil and the mechanical advantage of the internal combustion engine. It was then that I began the oil project. Over the next ten years I researched and photographed the largest oil fields I could find. I went on to make images of refineries, freeway interchanges, automobile plants and the scrap industry that results from the recycling of cars. Then I began to look at the culture of oil, the motor culture, where masses of people congregate around vehicles, with vehicle events as the main attraction. These images can be seen as notations by one artist contemplating the world as it is made possible through this vital energy resource and the cumulative effects of industrial evolution."
