1973 BMW 2002 — Lily

I somehow manage to have keys to an immaculate 1973 BMW 2002 this weekend. Fortunate doesn’t begin to describe how I feel with an ear to ear grin I posses behind the wheel of Lily.

Needless to say, before returning Lily to her most gracious and amazingly generous owners, I just have to take this wonderful piece of German automotive history on a tour of my neighbourhood for a little photo shoot. The cloud cover today is perfect for some super saturated and moody images, so naturally, I want to find some gritty locations.

Lucky the South Ice District has a few spots that are perfect.

Downtown Edmonton’s dirtiest alley with a wide angle to accentuate Lily’s natural curves.

I can’t help but shoot this car head on.

Okay, so one photo not in my neighbourhood. Thanks for the great sign Meat.
