Aesthetics are at the core of hot rodding. And nothing captures the visual essence of the hot rod like Peter Vincent's photography. In brilliant color and fully-saturated black-and-white photography, Vincent will capture America's most essential hot rods, hot rodders, and racers in dramatic settings such as the Bonneville Salt Flats and California's dry lakes - the places from which hot rodders have always drawn inspiration. The majority of the book's photographs will get the same treatment: each will have its own page, surrounded by white space and properly cropped and framed to show off Vincent's photographic artistry. Woven throughout the book, Vincent will tell the story of hot rodding through interviews with the originators of the culture, land speed racers, and the new generation of hot rodders who are keeping alive the aesthetic sensibility of hot rodding.About the AuthorFrom the salt flats of Bonneville to the endless variety of dry lakes and drag strips that dot the American landscape, photographer Peter Vincent magnificently reveals the pure artistry of the cars themselves. Inspired by early associations with Ansel Adams and others, Peter's amazing images have appeared in popular enthusiast publications since the 1980s, including Rodder's Journal, Street Rodder magazine, Hop Up, and in his best-selling book Hot Rod, An American Original in 2001. In addition, Peter's works have been exhibited in museums and galleries from New York to San Francisco. Vincent lives in Moscow, Idaho.

This review is from: Hot Rod: The Photography of Peter Vincent (Hardcover)
While I do not mind critical reviews of my work, and actually welcome comments, good or bad, I must say that an extremely bad review of a botched purchase from Amazon has absolutely nothing to do with the content or quality of the book. Peter Vincent

Hot Rod,

This review is from: Hot Rod: The Photography of Peter Vincent (Hardcover)
Excellent representation of the "old school" of hot rodding.
Good mix of both Bonneville cars/Street Rods and dual purpose rides. Not only 5 star photography of 5 star vehicles but very comprehensive comments and text by those who own/build and drive them. A must have if you're a fan of this sport/hobby/lifestyle. Much more than a 'coffee table" book. Highly recommended!

First Sentence:
I had a long conversation with Mark Morton, editor and publisher of Hop Up magazine, a couple of years ago about the visceral, or just plain "gut level," nature of hot rods, thinking it would be easy to write a few lines about these inherent, sensual qualities. Read the first page New!
