As I had mentioned before, we had once taken that trip down through desolate Pinto Canyon. Somewhere along the deserted road there is this old dilapidated shell of an old pickup truck. I got some photographs but I have never been able to get to look like I wanted it to.

My dear friend, Deb, of Tennessee suggested that it would look good as a black and white photo. She is a master of BW and I just don’t have the knack, or else I am too critical of myself. Anyway, I got to messing around with it today, trying another idea. The image above is the original. Below is the one that changed up a bit. Not a black and white, and not exactly a sepia.

I am kinda proud of it. Maybe because it is the first time I had ever done anything like this. I was searching for something but not sure what. Deb said it looked surreal, and that, I think, hit the nail on the head. Surreal. I have to remember that word. 🙂
