Wheels of Time

Wheels of Time Drive into history! Supposedly my first word was "Buick". That's what my parents told me, so I might as well believe it. For me, it's a mission.

I was born in the 1950s, a time or soaring optimism, expressed in every way. Not the least of that expression came from Detroit, where the wildest dreams of the Space Age somehow ended up in mainstream America's driveways and highways. It was a lot for us little kids to take in. It's hard to believe how far we have proceeded into the 21st Century. This is the "future" we yearned for, but it's less

futuristic than those dreams from so long ago. In fact, it's become relatively boring in many ways, not the least being our cars. I started creating these behind-the-wheels views of scenes in the 20th Century, learning hundreds of subtle tricks to make them come alive. This isn't "nostalgia", which to me implies a packaged view of the past, tinged with sentimentality. What interests me about the past, particularly mid-century America, is its variety and color. It's not always beautiful, and certainly not always sentimental, but it is always interesting. It is the behind-the-wheel scenes that define Wheels of Time as unique. I hope that these are special for you, and that you enjoy the detailed exterior shots of the automotive designers' artistry as well.
