There was a gentleman who held a garage sale, or more accurately a "side-of-the-road" sale when Richard and I helped with the David's Ride Bicycle Ride a couple of weeks ago. During the slow period, when we were still waiting for the first rider to show up, mom walked over to the other side of the country store's parking lot, at the edge of the road, to check out the wares of this gentleman. She came back and told me that there were some great vintage items, and she suggested I go take a look at them.
As soon as I saw his vintage toy trucks, I knew I wanted to photograph them. I love the way the rusty metal photographs. The colors and texture are awesome. So, I asked him if I could move them a little, and he graciously agreed. This is his old toy dump truck.
He also had a old toy tow truck, which I fell in love with.
There was a white price tag tied onto the tow hook, and no matter how I positioned the truck, it was visible. The gentleman selling the truck not only let me play with his toys, he took the price tags off while I took the photos. Aren't these toys great?
