Whites

I suppose the lighting makes the first one more grey than white, but I really like having three photos for a set. Two together need to be much stronger and more closely related, while three can be a looser group.

Motor

I heard someone remark that since this engine was mounted behind plexiglass that there was no point trying to photograph it. Fortunately he was talking to his friend, so I didn't have to take his advice.

I find the way the car companies switch between the words "motor" and "engine" fascinating. They're not quite interchangeable in their definitions, but there's an even bigger difference in their connotations.

Reflections

It's impossible to avoid reflections at the car show, so this year I spent some time looking for interesting ones.

I Don't Believe You.

I wouldn't know a Maserati even if one came to a full stop before turning right on a red light;
As a pedestrian there's no way that a two-tonne, 250hp truck that burns 14L/100km was engineered for me;
And "it's for your protection" is what you say to someone when you can't think of a better excuse.

Auto Show Floor III

I had to change lenses to take this, but it was totally worth it.

(This building is also home to my very favourite "EXIT" sign.)

Auto Show Floor II

I can't imagine how much the white-on-white crowd must hate coffee.

Auto Show Floor I

Four quick photos from the floor of the 2013 Auto Show in Toronto. The last one – the rude one – was from the 'exotic' section.
