For some reason I like to photograph old items from the past and when I do,I get to wondering about the history behind them. I found this old rusty tow truck for sale in a parking lot and it clearly had seen some mileage,but with a little searching on the net for the name emblazoned on the door,I did find the truck was originally owned by a gentleman named Edward Graf who had his own garage and was a certified mechanic. He was a life member of a fire company and from what I found at least one son has followed in that proud tradition and that’s why my title was aptly picked. This truck certainly came to the rescue of many motorists over the years and that ties in with serving in the fire company as well. I light painted the truck with my flashlight.

Fantastic… I really love all of your light painting photos, please do more, they are very inspirational.

Thanks Mike,hope you try some light painting of your own.great way to get creative and all you need are a tripod,flashlight ,camera and some imagination.
Thanks for the encouragement… I am well on the way, having started about a year ago. Its a genre that I enjoy because not too many people can be bothered with the time it takes. I am an avid fan of Eric Curry too!
Regards,
Mike
You hit the nail on the head with that statement.I enjoy creating something out of nothing when I light paint.Good luck in your endeavors.
