The Car Shots were a challenge to freeze an instant that would otherwise pass without notice. The goal, to align elements near and far, using split second reflexes. The success of a Car Shot depended on the dynamic between focus and blur. The hardest to achieve, and most satisfying, held a midpoint in focus while foreground and background kept moving. The finished image stretched new shapes out of familiar objects bringing them to life and adding an edge of excitement to a straight photograph.
