civilized ku # 1030 ~ waiting for the wedding couple

A man and his car ~ Au Sable Forks, NY = in the Adirondack PARK • click to embiggen
The car is a 1914 Ford Depot - made for picking up passengers at a train depot. I don't know the man's name even though the first time I met him he gave me, the wife, and Hugo a ride in the car.

At this meeting, he was waiting outside a church to drive a family friend (my family) and his new wife around the town and to their wedding reception.

A simple but striking image ... the lighter tones have been well rendered.

The only "spanner in the works" (pun intended) is the proximity of the front driver's side wheel to the driver's left hand. I only wish the driver stood a couple more inches to his left!

[This image also resonates with me for two additional reasons: the driver looks like a slightly order version of a friend of mine and my next door neighbour has a model T Ford.]
