Love that ironic Cartier-Bresson photo of the two people before the “Love is a Many-Splendored Thing” poster. Awesome subject reference given the film takes place in Hong Kong.
I had a 1953 Skylark that I loved but I was in college and could not afford to keep it up. I never saw a Wildcat before.
Linda Darnell’s house was across the street from my apartment in Redondo Beach when I was in college. I think her husband was an airline captain.
I was a medical student at Mass General a year or so after Gary Cooper had his prostate surgery there. Working him up, they discovered blood in his stool; and wanted to get a Barium enema, the state of the art then. He declined and said he would get it worked up in California. He never did and died of colon cancer.
That girl in the carriage doesn’t look too happy!
I notice so many of your cars are featured at Pebble Beach.
Know the history of the Concours? At least as we know it?
Phil Hill changed the whole perspective – from profiling the new cars to classic old cars. He was very proud of his family’s Pierce Arrow that he maintained for years that he brought it to Pebble Beach. Don’t know the year of this, though.
Lielle looks very stylish – in a child-like way – with those Ray Bans and a missing tooth 😉
North by Northwest – one of my favorite pictures. Was able to see it on the big screen a couple of years ago – it does that cornfield scene justice.
1949 London – I am trying to imagine how dismal that London looked – I’d imagine a lot of the bomb damage hadn’t been cleared – but children will still play. That picture conveyed it for me.
Like Ricks B & W too.
I have made a minor photography decision. No the Nikon F3 is still hanging on my closet door – I think film is gone for good. But I am going to dust off my little Canon G7 and use the iPhone less. Both have their uses but getting the photos transferred from the iPhone to the PC is a major headache it seems. Plus the old Canon, even if not quite the resolution in megapixels (10 vs 12) , has a better lens I believe.
Dolores del Rio – I see her in a lot of parties Wm Hearst had –
Wish I could edit the above.
Profiling
Concours
Does https://www.hemmings.com/blog/article/phil-hill/ or http://philhill.com/?p=264 answer your question about Phil Hill’s Pierce Arrow?
Also, looks like you can get iPhone photos onto your Linux system. Try out the method on https://www.addictivetips.com/ubuntu-linux-tips/access-photos-videos-on-your-iphone-on-linux/ but pay attention to the Fedora instructions. Call me if you need any help.
Thanks! Sounds like you know a little bit about Linux 😉
A little.
