Airstream, Metaphor

Martin Trailer — Mon, 05 May 2014 21:26:31 +0000

On the mend being sick since last week, but not out of the woods just yet and it is my day. to post an image.

Seems we are trending greenish energy and thought of this in my library. With my last name, it is fun to run across such metaphors and then to be able to play it again is terrific.

So, green energy, wind power, moving clouds, sky, all above an Airstream, Trailer no less!

Bisbee and the Shady Dell Trailer Park

Martin Trailer — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 17:42:59 +0000

As some have probably figured out, I am always on the prowl for vintage trailers. My quirk. (if you know of vintage trailer locations, speak-up )

A few years ago, I was given a tip about a trailer park that rented vintage trailers as “motel rooms” in Bisbee, Arizona. Bisbee it seems to be famous for two things, a) an enormous copper mine and b) the altitude, 5,000 ft and very pleasant when the lower surrounding area will be scorching. Off I went with no idea what I was going to find and found the Shady Dell Trailer Park at the south end of town on the traffic circle. I regret not staying longer to just walk around town. I will get back there.

If you like the ’50′s era, you will really enjoy this place. Stayed the night in the Spartanette and watched the original movie “The Blob” with Steve McQueen on a vintage B/W portable TV. (the VCR was hidden in a cabinet)

Dot’s Diner holds 6-7 people at a time, but there was never a wait. Food was diner style and good stuff.

A buddy, Mark Harmel, sparked this piece because of his blog post about Tombstone (nice dawn shot), just north of Bisbee.

Check the gallery below for more Shady Dell Trailer Park vintage images.

Visual Analogy/Metaphor/Simile

Martin Trailer — Wed, 25 Mar 2009 19:20:57 +0000

Speaking in images works for me and most likely why I am a photographer. It is always gratifying when the “a’ha” goes off. The a’ha is something you must experience, for I cannot express it well in words. It is more a gut feeling.

This photograph is one that was a delayed “a’ha” for me. I instinctively caught it, but did not recognize fully right away, moving on to even more.

Exploration with a camera is like going to the gym to lift weights, your building upon your past, enriching it, poking around shooting, finding these gems. When asked to shoot for clients, to explore a subject, the value of play I have done poking around is invaluable whether let loose or in a collaborative effort.

Petersen Museum – Trailer Show

Visit the Petersen Museum and here’s why.. This greets you when parking your car.

I do not know for sure, but this is what seems to be the first 5th wheel, a Vagabond for the 30′s or 40′s.

If you have never been to the Petersen Museum in Los Angeles, make it a point to go.

The trailers are just a feature and not part of the permanent collection, but will be on display into 2009.

I went to see the trailer collection, but the car collection is really something to see too, exotics, muscle cars, hybrids from the past to one of a kinds. Below are a few highlights of the trailer collection.

The other big highlight was the Bugatti collection. Seven as I recall including a Veyron.
