Antique Ford Car, Fort Meyers, 2021
#1376 - Anastasia Samoylova

"I photographed the Antique Ford Car at the Thomas Edison and Henry Ford Winter Estates in Fort Myers. The two inventors were friends and frequently summered together with their families. Can you imagine the dinner conversations? The estates feature an orange grove and lush gardens that partially reflect in the windshield. The iconic lines of the Ford Model T rendered in black and white allude to timelessness. I enjoy making images that are classically composed and could be confused with another era."

ENQUIRE ABOUT THIS WORK

 

A symbol of another era indeed. There is something about Model T that always fascinated me. Of course its innovative assembly line production revolutionized manufacturing. But beyond symbolizing 20th-century American ingenuity, it was the first affordable car, making vehicle ownership accessible to the masses, the dawn of mass mobility. Illuminated by a soft glow, Ana's photograph is a reminder of a bygone era.
