This is by far my favorite model year Ford pickup truck the 1956. This owner did a great job customizing this truck notice the exhaust tips exiting from the running boards.
I love the way the original wooden bed is restored on this truck.
And a little trick sheet metal work in the tailgate with some louvers. I hope you enjoy.

Well, it’s one of those weeks when mistakes have been made…that’s allowed, right? I took my computer in to have additional memory installed because all of my raw files are taking up so much space. I was so focused on getting “work” done before being without it, that I completely forgot to write my post for this week for Monochromia. So, desperately not wanting to disappoint, I searched my iPhone photograph library. Thankfully I had a few images from our trip to Grand Cayman that I had converted to black and white using the photo app. I selected one and emailed the image above of a Serpent Star Fish to our family laptop and voila, I have a post.
The picture isn’t the greatest quality as it was taken with my phone, but I found this creature to be quite intriguing and the composition was satisfactory. The Star Fish crawled out of a large Conch…

Here is a live performance of “Wanted Dead Or Alive” performed at Madison Square Garden in NYC by Bon Jovi at “The Concert for Sandy Relief” in December 2012. I hope you enjoy.
This is a 1956 Cadillac Coupe deVille. This is when cars really started to get big. Notice the massive amounts of sheet metal and chrome.
This one also was tastefully lettered in gold along with the insignias.
Notice the full width air vent under the windshield for ventilating the interior.
These cars also drove the gas station attendants crazy because the gas filler was accessed by swinging the tail light to one side and the filler was behind it. Also take notice the dual exhaust exits from the bumper something that todays car designers think is a new idea. I hope you enjoy.

…and enjoying the view. Wondering what are the stories of the people passing by.
Here is a little change of pace from my normal repertoire. This is the official music video of the Zac Brown Band performing “Goodbye In Her Eyes”. I hope you enjoy.
This is another example of a classic american hot rod. This 1950 Ford coupe also was customized with a chopped roof some trick metalwork with the rear fender skirts hiding the wheel and the suspension was also lowered to give it that sleek low rider look.
It’s all finished off with a flame paint job on top of satin black paint with some pin striping. I hope you enjoy.

OK, now wait! Before you get mad at me for substituting a more provocative title than Hitachi Backhoe (which, now that I think about it, could be considered even more suggestive), let me explain. I was looking up Hitachi on the internet (where else? I think the World Book Encyclopedia is now defunct) for a title prompt and found out Hitachi is a highly diversified company that operates eleven business segments.Take my word for it, the list is terribly boring. But I did find out that you can purchase the Hitachi Magic Wand Massager through Amazon. And, at the time of this writing, if you want it by Wednesday, July 9, you should order within 5 hours 54 mins and choose Two-Day Shipping at checkout. The details are as follows:

Here is a 2002 live performance of “Once In A Lifetime” performed by David Byrne at the BBC sessions. I hope you enjoy.
I am more of a Ford person but there is no denying the great looks of the 1957 Chevrolet. I think it is one of the best looking model years, and back then the manufacturers changed the body style each year.
From any angle this car just looks great.
1957 is also the year “fins” started to appear on every manufacturers auto line. These cars used to drive the gas station attendants crazy also. Notice the door in the chrome above the tail light was where the gas filler was hiding. Younger people might think “what gas attendant ?” Years ago there was a gas the attendant that pumped the fuel, checked your oil and cleaned your windshield (and that was all for 39 cents a gallon gas).
Bullets like the pair of them on this Chevy’s hood were also very popular. I hope you enjoy.
