My project of the month. To see more images and learn more about this pic, go to http://www.thebetsy.com, click on 'portfolio', then 'special projects'... I welcome and appreciate any comments/critiques!!

All the world’s a stage. Self-taught, still photographer Betsy Barron is a 80s child recalling the simple, natural pleasures of being outside and watching the light on her world. She’s a decades-long Philadelphia artist who combines her eye for form and function with the calm aesthetic of a passer by. Guided by light and lines with impact, her work speaks to the worth of daily pleasures and absorbing your field of view.

Betsy’s photography is part of many private and corporate collections in Philadelphia and New York. In 2014, she was selected to lead a fine art photography initiative with a worldwide luxury retailer.
She lives and works in suburban Philadelphia. See more at MY WEBSITE

Checked out "the Betsy" as directed; a really cool series. When I was in HS, we had a '67 Catalina 4-dr. V-8, but not a station wagon. It was awesome. This brings back memories.

Very nice series, Betsy. The tones and desaturation are great. I really like his pose while leaning on the car and holding his sunglasses.

@Russ: Thanks very much for your comments, everybody! I was really going for that 'vintage' look and I am very proud of this series. It's much different than anything I've done to date. So nice to receive such encouragement, thanks!!!
