About Me

My photo
Hi, I m Dick Isenhart. The effects of global warming concerns me deeply. My wish is that my pictures will move you to help preserve our fragile world. "Be the change you want to see in the world." After years on shooting film I transitioned to digital and gave away all my old gear. I now use a Canon 80D. Before COVID, my wife and I took long camping trips each summer to photograph the national parks. We have adapted to taking several closer trips to State Parks. I enjoy the grand vistas of landscape photography. But Macro wildflowers and arboretum photography brings out my artistic side. I am available to mentor and give presentations. Please feel free to comment on any of my work. Like and Follow as you see fit. Let me know if you would like a print. My motto is to "Live life with integrity and a sense of humor". I have a good sense of humor and don't take life or myself too seriously. I hope that in time, my friends and family will say that I had laughed a lot and loudly and have lived my life with integrity.

Old cars of Cuba

Everyone talks about the old cars in Cuba. With the US Blockade we created a stunted economy that hurt the people and froze the US made cars at 1957. Parts are impossible to find, I doubt if any of the cars have been "restored" to original condition. The upbeat and creative people have kept the cars running. Some cars have marine engines in them.

Enjoy the trip into the past....

  1. I'm thinking most of these are not the original paint job. Doesn't seem U.S. cars tend to be that colorful.

  3. Not much rust on them, but all have been repainted. Cubans are very colorful, I am surprised the cars are not even brighter.
