Once in a while I come across an image that appeals to me for reasons I can’t quite express. This is one of those. The limited colour palette and banal subject matter create an atmosphere of dreariness that’s hard to escape, and yet at the same time, is hard to quantify.

There’s something sad and beautiful about a great old car that’s lost the lustre of its youth, but retains something of its original elegance. Whenever I see a car like this on the street, I always wonder why we don’t drive cool cars any more? Will anyone in the future pass by one of today’s cars and pause to admire its beauty? I doubt it. And it’s not just cars.
