Barelas

 All the old cars in Albuquerque showed up in the historic Barelas neighborhood on Saturday for a cruise and curbside show -- restored classics, customs, and low riders.







There were a lot of bystanders and car owners on the sidewalks, so I made just quick passes up and down 4th Street shooting with my Olympus Infinity Stylus.  The little camera's sharp 35mm lens, autofocus and autoexposure easily coped with the picture opportunities and the contrasty late-afternoon lighting.  It was nice to get back to shooting color and the Unicolor kit got the job done for me.

A slow return to normal life perhaps? Nice to see these old classics out on the street!

I think people are concluding that it is going to be a long haul back to normal and they are finding ways to get by. New Mexico has had a spike in infections along witht he rest of the country, but it seems some lessons have been learned about getting such things under some control.
It was fun to see all those cars on Fourth St. The Olympus mju handled the opportunity well and I'm going to try to carry it along more in addition to whatever else I'm doing.
