Untold History

I think every photographer has made an image like this, but so thought I’d share one of mine. :-) I’ve been thinking a lot about nostalgia lately. Every time I look at an image like this, I find myself wondering about all the places this vehicle has been, the sites it’s seen, and the events it’s witnessed. Did it rush a pregnant woman to the hospital? Could it have been a getaway vehicle in a bank robbery, or was it used to deliver produce grown on a small farm to the market? I’m sure it’s seen a lot of laughter, anger, tears and joy. It’s part of the history of many people, and that’s why I made this shot, to give myself, and you, permission to put aside our often all-consuming thoughts of the future, and for a few minutes, remember the past.
