I’ve really never been much of a, ‘car guy’. – I tend to just see vehicles as a means of transportation. And so, when I visited Indiana’s Auburn Cord Duesenberg Museum, I was utterly amazed by these fantastic cars which are really more akin to sculptures. On my fist visi I didn’t have all of the gear I wanted, so I actually visited a second time and tool photos for four hours – all the while thinking of the line from Rupert Brooke’s poem, “The Great Lover“, which reads, “These I have loved… Unpassioned beauty of a great machine”.
