Recognition for two Escondido Cruisin' Grand images
The selected images are shown below, and are part of the photo storyboard about Escondido's Cruisin' Grand. Cruisin' Grand is Escondido's Friday night cruising event and features restored hot rods and classics displayed on Grand Avenue. The public cruises by car and on foot to view the rods and classics on display.

"With an 'urban art' look and feel, this photo conveys a slightly satirical story about cruising on Friday night. The sense of satire comes from the contrast between a restored early '60s Ford — with it's big-block V-8 engine under an enormous hood — against a ratty antique Mini that has no hood at all. To accentuate the contrast, the Mini features real people who are looking directly at you. Once eye contact is made the image is no longer about cars, but about people and our relationship with the urban scene."

A circa '30s Woody emerging on a contemporary urban cruising scene, escorted by a '50s era Thunderbird, creates a Back To The Future sense of time in this photograph. The sense of a dynamic street-scene is amplified by manipulating the surrounding forms and colors to encourage eye-flow to the Woody and T-Bird. The Woody, looking fresh and new, dominates within the surrounding 'modern' cars and urban elements. Bridging time, the scene becomes timeless — and we're reminded that our creative material expressions are timeless.
