The Ford Mustang


Yesterday I saw a man sketching a picture of a Ford Mustang as he sat at a local McDonald's eating french fries and a large vanilla shake. What was especially interesting was the detail. It was a street scene that had everything rendered in a photo realistic quality down to the last leaf. The picture was about 50 inches wide and could barely fit on the table. As I held my one year old I asked him,"how are you doing that are you referring to a picture, it's looks perfect like a black and white photography--(i neglected to mention he was using a graphite pencil). Looking up from his work he brushed his silver hair from his eyes and said,"it's just how I remember it looking parked on our street when I was a kid."
