nice tones, really like the tones in the photo and the contrast with the new car through the window. great photo. good job.
Posted by Andrew at January 17, 2007 02:13 AMgreat shot, very raw. i love it!
Posted by jml at January 17, 2007 03:03 AMThat truck looks totally ruined. The lighting in the cab is great.
Posted by Billy at January 17, 2007 03:10 AMi just noticed how early/late you post everyday!
love the picture!
Amazing shot ... I very much like the old rusty stuff and the way light got through the windshield. And last but not least ... the window ... it's like watching the present from the past. 10 out of 5.
May I request a bigger version and also the original shot.
Thanks a lot for sharing these amazing shot with the world.
PS: This shot is definitely going to be on your second book, right?
Posted by Ali at January 17, 2007 04:41 AMNice perspective
Posted by Hitesh Sawlani at January 17, 2007 05:59 AMGloriously cinematic. The figure seen through the window just makes it perfect.
You must be v happy with this shot. Thanks for sharing.
Wow.. that light! I can't quite figure it out - extremely well done, Sam. How you managed to get both outside and inside well exposed is amazing. Did you do any PS work here?
In any case - a winner shot.

Posted by Alice at January 17, 2007 08:45 AMNice image !
More than old truck i think is a Prehistoric truck ! :-)
Beautiful pictures.
Posted by Roger at January 17, 2007 08:51 AMGreat perspective. Quick of you to notice and get this. The view out beyond makes it.
And I'd say it surely is one miserable looking day for Toronto the usually warmer winter experience.
You are one hard nosed seeker of the graphic.
Posted by Hugh Petrie at January 17, 2007 09:05 AMooooofff!
very nice!
I'm sure everyone will say this, but you've got a refreshing perspective here, Sam. Wonderful implementation of your wide-angle and nice, muted, atmospheric tones inside the truck.
Posted by Nathan at January 17, 2007 09:41 AMLooks more like ancient to me...ha ha. Great picture.
Posted by Jennifer at January 17, 2007 10:28 AMdoes anybody drive this, i wonder.
your 10-22 rules! ..partly because they're in the right hands though.
Great window through a window framing!
Posted by Kevin at January 17, 2007 10:44 AMlooks like the truck i once had that was stolen and burnt to shit when i was a kid.
sad. but looks exactly how i saw in the pic.
Posted by Calogero at January 17, 2007 10:45 AMWow...once again, you have managed to take an eye-sore and turn it into an amazing photograph. Nice work Sam!
I like the broken window as a second frame. Nice composition!
Posted by Jonas at January 17, 2007 10:56 AMBrrr!
Posted by mel at January 17, 2007 12:14 PMAnother cool shot. I was curious Sam, since like me, you run around everywhere with your camera taking photos. How often are you harassed about it? How do you deal with it when you are? I have a list of encounters with rent a cops, NYC police, etc. With the latest being at lunch today when the manager of a restuarant ran up to me and was drilling me about taking photos of my own food! I get pretty frustrated since I avoid shooting people, and flash of any kind. Maybe Canadians aren't as paranoid as Americans about someone with a larger camera.
Keep up the awesome work man.
Posted by Jeremy at January 17, 2007 02:11 PMGreat photo Sam. Thanks :)
They likely use that truck in some films they shoot here in the big smoke.
Posted by amj at January 17, 2007 03:28 PMVraiment de superbes photos
Posted by Bruno at January 17, 2007 03:38 PMI think the truck by itself is good, but not that exciting. What's stunning to me is the way that the perspective of the cab carries your eye to the man walking down the street... a sort of picture within a picture. And an amazing job of balancing the lighting.
Posted by Tommy at January 17, 2007 05:18 PMBonjour,
Great detail, tones and dof! Bravo!
After that! I refuse to lend you my car.
Posted by namaste at January 17, 2007 08:08 PMThis truck is "frozen" in time...
Posted by Alex at January 17, 2007 09:13 PMGood shot!
Nice idea in composition with window!
Great tones and textures!
I live in San Diego, where winter is a relative thing. The other morning, somebody found it necessary to call the cops to tell them that there was some sort of substance on the road making people slip around.
This exotic material turned out to be something called "ice."
Anyway, nice, wintry shot, Sam.
Posted by MarkDM at January 18, 2007 12:13 AMit reminds me of 'Road to Perdition'
Posted by negar at January 18, 2007 09:24 AMI have been through the District recently and shot the same truck(s). Never thought of your angle...brilliant. Ice was a bonus.
Posted by Patrick Marcella at January 19, 2007 12:30 AMYou are making me want to buy this lens. Great wide perspective and tones.
Posted by Abe at January 20, 2007 12:19 PMI was there, too! I took pictures of the same truck on vacation and am excited (being, as I am, amatuer)- great shot and I hope for eyes like yours... and lens like that
