One of my favourite things to do is take pictures of all the cool cars that line King Street during Retrofest. This year's outing produced some great shots. Of course, I couldn't resist pumping up the colour using Photoshop. It was a cloudy day and I find that the muted light on overcast days really makes images pop, especially when I'm photographing chrome and paint. (It can be quite difficult to get a good shot of a very shiny car.) Processing these images with Photoshop makes the colour and lines pop even more.

I think 'Gearhead' is my new self-portrait. I didn't 'see' me reflected in the chrome of the rear view mirror when I was taking the shot. It was a happy accident.
