Having always loved old cars and photographed them for the fun of it, I decided to concentrate on them as my theme. Early in the year I inadvertently discovered the reflective qualities of the chrome features which decorate so many of these old motor vehicles. In this picture I wanted to capture the multiple images reflected in the various elements that adorn cars, such as the bumper bar, lights and grill. I particularly like the way the distorted and indistinct figures are blended against the shiny, rigid surface of the chrome.
