Another fun picture from the Woodward Dream Cruise: I loved the sunset light on this gorgeous Cadillac Eldorado Convertible.

Fascinating talk with Ed Bolian (VinWiki) about the financial profiles of supercar owners:

Host: So when you see people driving like really expensive exotic cars, what percentage of those people have them financed and can barely afford them?

Ed: It's going to vary a little bit by market and by demographic, but I would say 75% are financed. Certainly in my in my sales experience, 75%.

Host: When you say 75 [percent] financed, is that because that’s the smart move to make, because they got a low interest rate—it makes more sense to to arbitrage the money—or is that because they just can’t afford it?

If they’re driving…an iconic vintage or significant car, something that’s 10, 20, 30, 40 years old, for sure there’s a really good chance, because those are harder to finance. But if they've got a brand new Huracan…

1990s film photo recently published on "Temporal Fragments" hosted at cosmicfuz.com. See https://cosmicfuz.com/unfinished/ for this specific post.

Instead of using social media primarily, my photos are being presented on my own website. Visitors are invited to view a series of images, along with some text, as an attempt at storytelling.

Have you been seeking a way to present your work outside of the main tech platforms? Would be great to learn about your experience.
