The Photo Game: Unusual/Uncommon/Unique
This truck caught my attention partly because of its age and partly because of how small it looks next to a modern Range Rover. It's wild to see how today's SUVs dwarf the farm trucks of the past.
Background
I joined Kenneth Wajda and a small group of photographers in a weekly photo game a while ago. Kenneth wrote a prompt each week, and we were tasked with creating a photograph that met the prompt. Unfortunately, Kenneth's photo game is taking a break.
Since I'm not prepared to give up the game, my wife has graciously agreed to provide me with a surprise prompt each week so that I can continue.
The rules are still the same:
- All submissions must be scans of film, no photos from digital cameras
- Images must be taken, processed, and submitted by 8AM each Saturday
- Miss a week, and you're out
My goal in playing is simple. Get out and shoot film.
This Week
This week's prompt was "Unusual/Uncommon/Unique." The Ford F-150 has been the #1 selling truck in the United States for 46 years. Despite that, seeing vintage examples on the road and in good condition feels rare.

I captured this photo on Ilford HP5+ with my Canonet QL17.
