Since 1986, Calgary photographer Mark Vitaris has travelled North America and Europe, capturing images of pre-1959 automobiles where they were abandoned and came to rest, and which are now part of the landscape. This exhibition showcases 23 Cibachrome prints made from original transparencies. The cars are legacies that have stood the test of time.
“Formerly icons of freedom and prosperity, they remain in this world long past their usefulness, eyesores to most who pass by. But when the quality of light is just right, they can sparkle like diamonds and shimmer like gold affording the inquisitive eye and wondering mind a treasure chest of dreams. They were build to last, and last they have.” - Mark Vitaris
