  2. Love the fender … my neighbor restores his own vintage cars. He has 3 that are to die for. The car shows here are great.
    Anyway, your photo’s are super … so …. what else is new? I”ve noticed that quite a few of us photogs love the color purple. We are a fabulous bunch.
    Toodles,

    • Thank you and yes we are aren’t we. We are just a bunch of purple loving, artsy fartsy, FAB – U – LOUS people :-D

      Oddly enough, even though it is my favorite color, I’ve never worn anything purple, and probably never would. ;-)

  3. Spectacular use of purple. I love them all. Very impressive photography work. :-)

    • Thank you very much, and you as well. I spent a little time wandering around your blog last night and I’m not done :-D

  4. Awesome additions to this weeks theme! Love the car!

    July 28, 2012 at 2:17 am

    • Thank you Jennifer! It is a pretty cool car that’s for sure. If only it were mine ;-)

  5. Love the fender! Looks like a fun ride.

    July 28, 2012 at 3:51 am

    • I would love to find out! The owners basically gave me free reign to clime all over and around it to get a few photos, I wonder if they’d let me take it down the 1/4 mile one time ;-)

  6. These are lovely Jeffo :) The fender pic is the best to me :D . I can’t believe that someone gave you a poor rating (the world is full of weirdos); I did my best to increase your average ;)

    July 28, 2012 at 5:14 am

    • Thanks Paula, I think the car is my favorite this week too. :-)

      I hadn’t even noticed about a poor rating. Life’s too short to worry about pleasing everyone. Some will like what I share, some won’t, that’s the way it goes.

      July 28, 2012 at 8:11 am

      • Oh, you mean the stars, I don’t see that as a poor rating at all. If everyone gave me 5 stars all the time I’d start to think they were just humoring me. Like I said above, not everything I post is going to appeal to everyone. I’m happy with that :-D The fact anyone takes the time to read and look is good enough for me. I am an acquired taste you know.
        :-D

        July 28, 2012 at 8:15 am

        • You are not an acquired taste … you are totally wrong there… and stars on this blog should be extended to 10, to make a fair distinction between yours and others’ blogs.

          July 28, 2012 at 8:30 am

      • No, I am sure they are just petty little souls… to envious, too stupid, to limitted… and should be banned from WP. When I buy the site I will make sure they are gone forever!!!

        July 28, 2012 at 8:24 am

        • Now be nice! ;-) You’re too funny!

          July 28, 2012 at 8:26 am

          • If anything I am NOT nice, and you should have learned that by now :P , but there are people that bring out niceness in me (such as a certain Mr Sweet) and many others that reduce me to a raging vampire…..

            July 28, 2012 at 8:28 am

            • I KNEW you were a vampire!

              July 28, 2012 at 8:30 am

              • :D you got me right from the start ;)

                July 28, 2012 at 8:32 am

  7. Great collection of purple!

    July 28, 2012 at 6:48 am

    Wonderful…..I can’t decide which is my favorite! :)

    July 28, 2012 at 9:02 am

    • Then you must choose them all by default :-D

      Thank you!

      July 28, 2012 at 9:35 am

  9. They’re all beautiful Jeff.

    July 28, 2012 at 9:29 am

  10. such fantastic shots!!

    July 29, 2012 at 12:16 pm

  11. Love that last photograph most of all!

    July 29, 2012 at 12:52 pm

    • Thanks Nate. Next time your around maybe we can hit Portsmouth for some night photography, and a beer or three ;-) No shortage of places in P-Town to get a good brew. :-D

      July 29, 2012 at 7:54 pm

  12. Love that sky…beautiful!!

    July 29, 2012 at 12:56 pm

    • Thank you and thanks for stopping by my little corner of blogdom :-)

      July 29, 2012 at 7:55 pm

  13. Nice images Jeff. The purple and silver fender is outstanding

    July 29, 2012 at 6:11 pm

  14. Awesome, Jeff. That fender blows me away. What a great balance of orange & purple in the second, and I can never get enough of that twilight purple.

    July 30, 2012 at 11:15 pm

    • Thanks Brandon. I love the pit area at New England Dragway! I spend way more time in the pits than actually watching the races. The thing I love about drag cars is that they often have some of the most beautifully done paintwork.

      July 31, 2012 at 6:22 am

  15. Purple is the color most favored by artists. No wonder… Like the romantic and delicate purple in the second image, and LOVE the rich and bright purple in the last one!

    July 31, 2012 at 4:38 am

    • Thank you Lucy! I keep hearing that about purple, no big surprise it’s always been my favorite color, since I just about lived in the art rooms in school :-)

      July 31, 2012 at 6:25 am

  16. Excellent post. Like it a lot, what you did in this post with your photography. Awesome work!

    August 1, 2012 at 2:38 pm

  17. Lovely ‘purples’ Jeff. The car is of course the star of the show :-D

    August 6, 2012 at 1:11 am

  18. Love the purple sky!

    August 15, 2012 at 3:54 pm

  19. I feel it’s a balanced mix of shots here – if the first is a power shot, the second one is about the simple tender beauty, while the last one depicts serenity!

    August 16, 2012 at 4:00 am

    • Thank you, and I think you’re right. I should start paying more attention to the order I post them. I should finish off with the “money shot,” not lead with it.
