Pop in the Shop

Dedication is a word that comes to mind when I look at this picture. My step-pawpaw has given his life to the thrill of race cars. He owns his own business for race car gas which is done through his own body shop. I chose this photo for my color entry because he loves the color red, it is the color of his race car. The wisdom my step-pawpaw carries is in each one of his tools, every screw and machine. I wanted to capture what he is most proud of and the legacy he has left for his children and grandchildren. Being wheelchair bound put no restriction on his enthusiasm for his career. I hope one day I love life as much as he does.
