Mexican car frenzy
« on: October 04, 2011, 10:20:13 PM »
So this year I had the chance to visit a world press photo exhibition and by far my favorite photographs were from a series called "Mexican car frenzy" by a photographer named Tomasz Gudzowaty.

The theme here is street racers and car enthusiasts in Mexico. I did some research and found out that he actually uses a Linhof Master Technika LF camera and polaroid film (type 55 maybe?). The pictures are just amazing.

Some pictures:



I think this is a challenger?




This is the gallery that was featured on the show.

Wow, wow, wow, that's amazing. And if you go to his website you can find some other grrreat galleries. Specially liked the one of "free running". So inspiring. He uses Pola 55 and Ilford 4x5, needless to say that the Polas look just sweet. ;D Thanks for sharing!

What's not to love about fast cars and big cameras :)

Reminds me a bit of the old Cannonball and Gumball Rally movies...

Thanks very much for this, Lino.

"Shipwreckers" on Gudzowaty's page is amazing.
