When I saw that the City Daily Photo theme for February was "Motors," I groaned. That isn’t something that I normally photograph because it doesn’t particularly interest me. While I do have pictures of antique mechanical devices that could be called engines, I don’t think of them as motors.
So what is the difference? Both motors and engines are devices designed to convert one or more forms of energy into mechanical energy. [Wikipedia] The word engine has been around for centuries, but the word motor was devised to describe the internal combustion engine to differentiate it from the steam engine.
I went out this afternoon to a Ford dealership to get a picture of something with an internal combustion engine. I saw hundreds of trucks for sale, mostly white ones. I understand the need for trucks in this largely rural county, but I don’t know why so many of them are white.
Good on you for stretching your subjects! White trucks are strange, as so many of the SUV's I see are black. Glad you found a regular car to photograph also! (and it might just be black)
ReplyDelete...white trucks are easily lettered or repainted another color. When I was in business, my trucks were white. A dirty white truck looks cleaner than a black!
