Land Rover: Best and Worst car...

Land Rover: Best and Worst car

At least in my opinion...

I ran across this photo of my old Land Rover parked in our son's driveway in Bel Air. This is a car I had a love/hate relationship with. The love part I still feel any time I see a similarly-designed Land Rover. This style is romantic by nature, and owners of these cars usually have a bag for each season packed, and ready to go. The newer Land Rovers just look like car-cars to me.

The hate part comes from it eating a hole in my wallet. It was always in the shop, mostly for oil leaks. One Land Rover dealer finally told me all Land Rovers leaked. What? Anyway, I finally sold the car that, ever time I got into, made me feel like an adventure was straight ahead. Many times it was, and many times it was just another trip to the repair shop.

The eye of the photographer...

Elliott Erwitt photography quotes

“To me, photography is an art of observation. It’s about finding something interesting in an ordinary place… I’ve found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.” ~ Elliott Erwitt
