a rather rusty ride

not! it's an old rusty tractor that's on display at the entrance of a farm we passed by during our long drive this morning. i saw a dilapidated run-down barn, i yelled "stop!" he slowed down, and as i was ready to shoot, he did a u-turn. he said he saw an old tractor. i said i didn't see an old tractor. turned out it was on his side of the road. so when i saw the tractor, i yelled "stop!" just as he was putting on his breaks. :-)

ooooh, director james cameron took over as soon as we're out of the car. 'stand here.' 'over here.' 'right here.' 'a little more down.' this here and this there. i was giving him the camera, but i got the 'no, you do it. you're the photographer.' but when i said human element is missing, he gladly and willingly got into the tractor and posed.

'good boy!'

thank you for your kind visits and comments; know that they are truly appreciated.

loved reading that, I think that tractor may be a David Brown "White" which always tickled my funny-bone

He is good to pose for you! He looks quite at ease sitting there, great shot. I love the rusty old tractor : )

Great shot. I can just see and hear you giving all of those directions

[Brianna]

Aha, what a wonderful and fun shot!

[Claire]

So funny, he redeemed himself by posing

Oh boy I would have had fun with that- first shooting Mr. Cameron and his camera lady and then shooting all my close-ups of the tractor!

Hilarious story and great shot. Yeah for an old rusty tractor...hope he didn't get gonorrhea from it (remember the Seinfeld reference?). I so played a director with Mike over the weekend, too. Made him into an ax murderer for that scary Shining scene.

Wow looks like you can take the city girl out of the city and into the country after all. Looks like he's having fun don't let him fool you. Great find.
