    my personal 'Triple Crown' car weekend

    Saturday at EASY was one of the best 1st-Saturday-of-the-month gatherings in a long time………sublime weather, great combination of cars and people, in short, the perfect start to a grand weekend.

    For the second leg of the Triple Crown morning, followed about 20 cars to the Jim Barrington Collection in deepest, darkest East Oakland, for a most enlightening and enjoyable hour or so of seeing one man's version of celebrating the "car-guy" life. Well done, Jim !

    Finished up my car-morning with a visit to Fantasy Junction, for a review of their inventory, but also because I find that the unique quality of the filtered sun-light shining on the cars through the sky-lights makes for a rare opportunity to use my fast lenses wide open for the atmospheric, painterly ambiance it gives the cars.

    Thanks for looking,
