Vintage.
Captured with Kodachrome Slide Film
No AI, no digital manipulation and no room for error. Although Medium Format Digital Cameras were my choice for commercial projects, I was still using Film cameras on personal projects until 2002. At a little over 17 feet long 6 1/2 feet wide and just a bit over 4 feet tall with a top speed of 120 miles an hour and enough torque to tow your house around the block, steering was so loose you actually didn’t really steer it, you kind of aimed it in a general direction and hoped it went there. Nicknamed the “Jetbird” the 1964 Thunderbird really took you back to what it was like in a somewhat luxury automobile at the time of the 1964 World’s Fair. Photo taken with the NIKON D3X and a 24-120mm NIKKOR Lens.
It is pictured here at Town Beach in Southold looking like the “60s” vintage setting that it should. I was waiting for something else that happened just at the right time and was blessed with the person walking along the beach. The serendipity of Vintage meeting Vintage meeting Vintage—the car, the photograph taken with a film camera using KODAK slide film, and Southold Town Beach—it’s hard to get more Vintage than that.
