Parked Portraits Pleasingly parked cars. I share my love of car design, architecture & photography here. I love pre-1980ish vehicles, when design trumped gas mileage.

Mostly San Francisco scenes. I usually create a couple portraits a week, and I've got almost 200 in the vault that I'll post weekly. I hope you enjoy!

Had a blast at the 38th annual San Francisco Old Car Picnic yesterday. 💛🌭🍺☀️ Loved chatting with people, and it was super sweet to get to meet Greg and his son, who’s a budding photographer, and get to hand deliver a poster to them—a photo of their car parked at grandma’s house.
