The distant and colour do give a feeling of a time gone by, Lorraine has got a new car. I saw your site with the Tim Hortons portraits, I encourage you to keep doing it, I will look in from time to time.

bluechameleon from Vancouver, Canada
Retro! Lorraine your image has just struck the tune of the mood I am in today....it's perfect!
For some reason (dont ask why as I haven't a clue) it feels as if it is a scene from the film "Pretty In Pink"! Could it be because of the border? Who knows... :)
2 Sep 2008 7:28pm
@bluechameleon: Wow what a mood you must be in Blue, lol thanks a lot, personally I adore YOUR mood shots ;)

Evelyne Dubos from Le Mans, France
Un sujet bien en phase avec le look année 60 du post-traitement, sympa.
Désolée pour ces jours derniers mais j'étais très occupée... un mariage... et je m'occupais des photos (tu vas voir ça sur mon site pendant quelques jours pour changer des voyages...), préparation, prise de vue et tirage... sympa mais ça demande du temps... et il me reste beaucoup à faire mais ça me plait bien car ça m'oblige à travailler sur un sujet différent de ce que je fais habituellement. J'espère que cela plaira :-))
2 Sep 2008 10:19pm
@Evelyne Dubos: Merci beaucoup Evelyne et ça me plait c'est sure, ta photo hier était extraordinaire, épatante, j'ai bien hâte de voir ta collection ;)
Benoit Darrieux from Clermont Ferrand, France
Moi je l'imagine abondonnée sur ce parking isolé après un casse par des gangsters des années 60... Y'a peut-etre quelqu'un dans le coffre, t'as jeté un oeil ?
2 Sep 2008 10:53pm
@Benoit Darrieux: Bonjour Benoit, j'y ai pense, je me suis meme approche, jusqu'a ce que j'apercoisve une ombre a gauche et la je me suis sauve :)

Barbara from Florida, United States
I love the shot Lorraine. The framing and composition of the car in the background, the steps and tone of the image really does give that "before my time" feel. Well OK it really brings back wonderful memories of when I was young-er.
Well captured!

@Barbara: Thanks so much for the lovely compliment Barb :)
