this is a plague ;-(
more over if you consider the photo it is somehow ridiculous
the arrangement of the scene has unclear meaning to me
the lady is obstructing the view of the car, but the car is not subtly placed i.e. you can place part of the car ocupying one corner but not in the middle of the photo and the lady in front obstructing the view, 2 "objects" of interest putting one on top of the other ...:-O

I was supposed to have my car in a photoshoot tomorrow, but the forecast calls for rain/snow. They're not rescheduling so it looks like my friend's 2002 will take its place.

Anybody with an oversized spleen can see the meaning of the picture:

"If you are a young good looking lady you can get away with effortlessly transitioning from work to weekend driving a car with no license plates
and underinflated tires into the pedestrian areas of a public place and leave it there unlocked while you daydream about clothing".

That is great, as it is the definition of carefree, which I once was before my spleen grew bigger than my brain.


..the scene has unclear meaning to me..

Is that what a coupe owner's driveway is supposed to look like? Mine is 2 feet longer than the car and has a rusty Peugeot in it. Maybe I need to move.

I'm not convinced that the car is physically there. Look at the shadows... Huge shadow on the left of a tree (supposedly) but no shadow at all from the other tree. Maybe its a 15' stump? I'm thinking not.

I'm sure the shadows were tinkered with in Photoshop. In addition to removing the plate, the badges have been removed, and those unsightly door striker and locks.

Let me use my internet powers to get to the bottom of this.

The model's name is Carolyn Murphy.

The car is really there...

What's up with that seat lever situation btw? Is this an early seat or a late seat? No lever up top, but a lever on the hinge. Is this a real seat or did the 'artist' remove the seat lever?

Lauren is known for his car collection; maybe this is one of his entry level choices...

They sure made the car look blah. Oh wait, they had too so it wouldn't steal the show! :)
