I have only one regret, I would have liked the wheels to be oval, just like in the old Lartigue photographs of racing cars that he took when he was around 7. When I was that age, I already fiddled with cameras but I was only playing with my father's Leicas, dreaming about these beautiful pieces of precision machinery. I remember having spent hours to make a wooden mock up of his IIIG to play the role of the photographer, running with it around my neck. Here the wheels are still almost undistorted, but the background is blurred, thank you. Following the horse carriage at the right speed with the right shutter speed was luck though. Too bad Orson Welles and Rita Hayworth weren't sitting in the back…
