| North Norfolk Railway - Vintage Transport Weekend No. 2
This year I spent the 4th of July weekend in the United Kingdom - which was a bit of an oxymora. No celebrations of independence were to be found but I did manage to attend a wonderful vintage transportation exposition going on just outside of Sherringham in North Norfolk. The local railway had sponsored the event and it had a very strong turnout.
As I walked the grounds, patterns began to present themselves for me to photograph. I was eager to capture these Englishmen next to their pride and joy to see if the same expressions I saw in folks I photographed in the states would present itself. Of course the cultural differences presented themselves but as we all are around the globe, pride of ownership has a distinctive air. The following series of images became not so much a look at man and his machine but more of a study on how we project our personal tastes and esthetics by surrounding ourselves with items that reflect our interests.
I also concentrated on photographing what they called "Tin Van Alley", a collection of vintage English caravans (what we call trailers or mobil homes in the US) which I look forward to sharing with you in the near future.
If you can spot which one of these gentlemen didn't own the vehicle he is standing next to, please email me here!
Here's to the red, white and blue!
