Nice series, Alicia. The Ford looks both cool and very odd. I like Portra, too. Have you tried the 800 version? I've used it in my Holga 120N and that combo produces its own colour palette. That air machine shot is a great example of "Pareidolia".
There's some great images here, Alicia. That Ford is very cool, the air machine is definitely gasping, the piano was an interesting find and I love the free chair. The colour tones of the Portra are really nice.
I was actually photographing something else when I turned around and saw the air machine gasping. I thought it was pretty funny. 😆 And I can’t ever resist photographing random chairs!
I say YES to your approach — it IS and sounds so freeing! I love all these shots but the van opener is my favorite. Clean and punchy.
Haha! Thanks for your support!
I immediately thought about Punch Drunk Love with the parking lot piano photos. That first one in particular is so so good.
Thanks! It was a bit surreal to see it on its side like that.

There are a lot of very old and very cool cars in Southern California.
And yes, I have tried Portra 800. That’s my favorite of the Portra’s although I haven’t shot it in a while.
Pareidolia, good word! I had to look that one up! Thanks for adding to my vocabulary.

Thank you, Mark! I love the way Portra renders color.
factory on the beach is intersting photo, like it!
that machine is screaming, clearly :)
That’s an oil refinery which isn’t great but makes for interesting photos.
yes, oil raf. not good for holiday, but good for photos :)
Love the colors!
Portra is one of my favorites.
Cool finds. And love that ford.
I loved it too!
I didn't notice the machine gasping until you pointed it out - now I can't unsee it 😂 Love the free chair under the flowering trees!
