For the majority of us, the most interesting cars at the 2009 L.A. Auto Show—the concept cars, the supercars, the outrageously expensive luxury barges—exist only for our imaginations.
Crowds have already begun to form lines to see Corvettes and Challengers; to kick the tires of the TSX and the Tuscon; to see and touch and feel and pretend. That’s important, because the galleries and galleries of images on the internet don't do these cars justice. They must be seen and sat in and, ideally, grabbed by the steering wheel and run through imaginary gears with a soundtrack straight from a kindergarten playground: "Vrooom."
Sharp pictures don't capture the feeling of sitting inside a supercar, so we went in the opposite direction. We photographed the hazy dream of the auto show, which runs through Jan 13 at the Los Angeles Convention Center, with Lomography's new Diana F+ lens adaptor, which lets you attach any of the gloriously imprecise plastic lenses from the Diana F+ camera to any pro Canon or Nikon digital or film camera and gives those megapixels a bit more feeling. Dream on.
