Thanks for the memories....
My pleasure, I love stuff like this, the nostalgia of it, seeing how things were crafted when automation and computers did not exist. I love seeing representations of simpler times. They also make me wonder when each one died and how long have they been parked there. I also wonder how many kids drove these trucks around after being parked! It is amazing how we didn't car about how many wasp nests were in them back then!? kids these days wouldn't get in any of those trucks unless the power adapter functioned properly to plug in a Nintento DS.

no, not taken the wrong way. These little cameras have become the perfect camera what you described above. I even take mine when riding the four wheeler. If one bites the dust, you get get another for cheap! (while used supplies last). But, they have turned out to be tough little cameras to!

Again, absolutely not taken wrong. I very much appreciate all your comments about my photos. I am glad you like the effect. I overlayed a black and white layer over the color one, then used an eraser brush with reduced opacity in key areas to get this effect.
