And the WINNER is!

There are a lot of popular sayings & this relates to the one that goes

"He who dies with the most toys wins"

These photos are nothing but quickly taken snapshots while doing a tour of a private family owned collection of the things that interest them. I knew the collection was big & diverse so when a friend invited me to join the tour I couldn't pass it up no matter what I had planned for that day. I urge everyone who likes there samples to at least check out the 2 albums I did based on my tour.

If he didn't win, he certainly came close! Who's collection was that?

As Mike and Frank would say...that's quite the honey hole!

that is an incredible collection.

I don't know much about the family but a friend had done the tour years ago & from his description I knew I wanted to if the occasion came. I was invited to go just 2 days before the tour which was set up by members of 3 local car clubs. Before going I did a quick internet search so I'd know what conditions to expect photography wise. I chose my 7D & 17-40 & 1Ds2 with a Sigma 12-24 & a 580 flash. It didn't take long to realize that the 12-24 was the tool for the job simply because everything is so tightly packed in. Here's a link to a little information about them but it must be a bit old because things have changed re new buildings since the article & I think I heard them say that 2 more are in the near future.

We were told that the majority of the vehicles were both roadworthy & more importantly had current license plates. What a gift to the province considering how little time they'd actually travel the highways.
