An old gas truck for inspiration...

I've driven by this old gas truck in town for many years. It's down the street from our post office and behind the town elevators. Finally one night this week, I pulled my car over and parked so I could explore the truck at close range. A few people drove by and I'm sure they wondered what that woman was doing photographing the truck over and over and over again, moving around it like I was stalking my prey. I had noticed it was moved a little and there are stakes for a garage nearby so things were changing and I wanted to take some photos of it before it disappeared. I think it is full of character.The photos in these collages were taken to serve as the theme for a project my painting class at school will do.I even played with the filters and "switched up" some of the photos. I'm intrigued by old things. Isn't everyone?
