VW Emblem

Copyright Jeff Ball 2010

A few weeks ago, I visited a Volkswagon yard an I came across this car. I have a long history with Volkswagons and I just couldn’t help myself , I had to take some shots.

The VW emblem is missing on this car, which isn’t that unusual. The symbol has been popular among teenagers, rappers and VW lovers alike.

The logo was the result of an office competition to see come up with a logo. The winner of the competition (who won 50 Marks for his troubles) was an engineer named Franz Reimspiess (the same man who perfected the engine for the Beetle in the 1930’s).

I was just amazed by the amount of moss growing in the Pacific Northwest. It grows on anything that doesn’t move! I really loved the juxtaposition of the moss on trees and the moss on concrete. It also reminds me that if we ever destroy ourselves through war or science, nature will take over and repair the earth. At least I have high hopes that it will thrive in our absence.

When I went camping with friends this summer, this image was one that stood out to me.  It was late morning and we were wandering through the woods looking for shots. I pushed my white balance to get  the moody aspect of this piece. The light coming through the cold blue trees gives a conflicting feeling of warm and cold.
