 The driveway had been cleared of snow. I parallel parked the car in the garage. Then I used a wheel barrel to dump the snow in the driveway. I used our other car to make the tire tracks and defined them with a garden tool. I kept looking around to make sure my neighbors were not watching. They would probably think I am crazy to put snow back in the driveway!

I would still like to know how you parked it. Great job. Should have placed better.

OK... fess up! How the @#!!$%* did you do that?

funny - that is some parking job! Nice touch with the tire tracks in the snow. There is a distracting tilt to this, and the light is a bit glaring. Might have been cooler at night when the inside of the garage would be dark, and you could selectively light the car and the tracks.

that looks like a task if you are running late for an appointment.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/09/2004 08:13:29 AM
haha how that get in there sideways? or how long did it take to drive it in there?
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Love it. I did that once, not an easy thing to do, especially keeping the tire tracks to only one time over!. By the way, how come your car is so clean in the winter??? My only small criticism is that I which you had straightened out the photo just a touch when you cropped. Good job tho. Especially the driving part..oh yeah, and for having such a neat garage

  Photographer found comment helpful.

I hope you tell us in your photographer's notes, how this car managed to make it into the garage! NIce seeing.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/07/2004 12:27:55 PM
lol! Hhow did you do that without making any prints in the snow except those two!? Thats great!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/07/2004 07:36:11 AM
Funny picture. Not sure about art expression but interresting.-7

I would love to know how you got that in there?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/06/2004 10:15:49 PM
How did you do that???? Is this for real
Amazing driving
Nice detail and focus and very very clever
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/06/2004 07:35:57 PM
Great picture. I'm really curious how did you manage to park it like that
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/06/2004 04:07:20 PM
Very clever. I wondered what my daughter was doing...LOL.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/06/2004 01:31:46 PM
WHAT!? good picture, great idea to fool eye. It fooled me...for a second. When tires go over snow they smash it down not remove it completely.

 02/06/2004 12:02:28 AM
he,he... ;) nice idea!
first snow? ;)
  Photographer found comment helpful.

can't wait to see how you did this!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/05/2004 07:51:50 PM
Made me laugh... thats always good for an extra point!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/05/2004 07:29:17 PM
Very creative. How long did it take you to maneuver the vehicle back out of that situation?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/05/2004 04:06:40 PM
Humor, art, the "how did they do it factor," and a good shot opn top of it. I hope you end up on top. The photo - not the car. All though come to think of it . . . that would have really been a stunt. The car on its back also!!! Please tell me you did that with two jacks on whelels. BOL

top photo - excellent, 10 all the way
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Great setup, and by far the cleverest image so far. The cropping at a slight angle didn't help as the image was interesting enough already to make you think. The tracks also look a little too clean, as my car usually leaves treads. Less DOF might have helped your background. All that said, I really like tihs.

FANTASTIC, I love the humor. Made me laugh out loud, literally. How long did you have to wait for the snow to re-accumulate after putting the car in the garage sideways? And how long did it take to parallel park? ha! Have to take off a point for the horizon slipping down to the left, but otherwise, a fine garage art picture. 7

Clever photo! I wish it was technically/visually more appealing, but the setup is good.

Extra credit for humor!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/04/2004 10:59:46 PM
How? Did you get it out again?

You have a good imagination.

 02/04/2004 07:32:37 PM
hilarious -i love it
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/04/2004 06:00:38 PM
Great! Nice parking job. Would have liked to have seen the picture rotated clockwise about .5 degrees so the lines on the house are parallel to the border
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/04/2004 04:52:17 PM
pretty clever driving i'd say
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/04/2004 02:54:23 PM
how?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/04/2004 10:22:31 AM
All right. I'll wait until the end to see how you did this.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/04/2004 07:36:04 AM
great shot very funny, question from me and my husband...how on earth did you get this in the garage sideways? 9
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/04/2004 06:47:09 AM
Gotta give points for creativity on this one.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/04/2004 06:42:24 AM
Beautiful idea, but you could pay more attenction to camera inclination...
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/04/2004 05:54:04 AM
You have got to explain this!!!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/04/2004 04:43:46 AM
:-)))
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/04/2004 04:39:07 AM
Cute photo....I think a slight rotation to the right to straighten the horizontal would help it a little. I'll bet your neighbors thought you were crazy! Don't know that it reflects my idea of "art" - but we all know how subjective that can be! Fun entry.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/04/2004 03:20:38 AM
very funny - I look forward to finding out how it was done.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/03/2004 08:12:50 PM
this must have taken some time, good title to fit the work.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/03/2004 08:06:27 PM
WOW, how'd you do that?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/03/2004 07:57:02 PM
LOL.....just super....!!!!!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/03/2004 07:46:26 PM
its funny and the funny ones always deserve one point extra
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/03/2004 07:35:00 PM
