Automotive Monogamy

This blog has been getting a little girly (sorry, dudes), so here is a stereotypically male post. Italian photographer Matteo Ferrari tracks down men who have been driving the same car for decades. He then recreates the photos taken when they first bought their cars. I love seeing the people both young and old and thinking about how much they must adore their wheels.

  2. i saw these pictures a while ago, they are so charming. i know it's mostly about the guys, but i definitely like the photo of the couple best!

  3. So fun! The one with the couple is my favorite.

  4. So fabulous! This makes me wish my mother had never sold our old VW van.

  6. how great is this!

    perhaps the next series can be: men and their socks. i know some guys who've had socks longer than these guys have had cars.

  7. I adore this idea. Makes me think of the other photo series I think I saw here, of childhood and adulthood pictures posed to be exactly the same.

  8. This is such a photo trend right now! this, the young me-now me series, the photo of one of your parents and then you posing the same way (http://jstn.cc/post/36269779/davidtrawin-the-top-photo-was-taken-circa-1958). Very cool.

  10. I love this! I was trying to think of what I want to do for next month, and I am considering rephotography and contrast/compare shots. What do you think?

    I'm not a man, nor am I a she-man, but I love this post : )

  12. oh, i LOVE vintage cars - such style! the then and now shots are special as they're probably not easy to get living in such a disposable society, even in italy.

  13. i always love this kind of project, it's so interesting to see how some things never change (and some things do). great photographic style as well! :)

  14. WOAH. that's pretty cool.

  15. thanks for including us men in this post...but I think I can safely say that we love all the other posts just as much :)

  16. Ha, these are hilarious! I love the way the men are posing, all puffed-up and proud. I've never gotten the whole car thing :)

  18. It's not just guys who like cars... I think anyone who appreciates beautiful design falls for cars designed by Pininfarina and others.
    My boyfriend is always making fun of me because of the 2 of us, I'm always the one checking out cars on the streets!

  19. Love the middle one - stylish car, stylish bloke.

  20. This is what I find very funny. When a guy is near his car and he is alone, he is touching it; foot on it, leaning on it, sitting on it. But when he is near his car with a girlfriend/partner/wife....he doesn't touch the car. It's as though men behave like it adulterous!

  21. I love these...they remind me of my grandfather. He worked for GM and loved cars. He always had a professional photo done everytime he got a new car {which was often}...we have a whole collection of photographs of him and his cars...thanks for bringing back this memory ...

  22. This is great! I think it's funny how everyone always takes a picture of themselves in front of their new car. My dad always made the whole family do it.

  23. What a great concept. Love it! I wish I still had my first car. Unfortunately, my sister took it out one evening and totalled it. Oh memories...

    Great post.
