What a difference

What a difference
This sign really cracked me up. This car meet used to be held at Vegabaren, and it was legendary. It was the highlight of the season for many people. It would be an insane party, with a lot of alcohol, sexy babes and all the rest. People would drink until they passed out where they stood or sat. Police and ambulance would be nearby, just in case. Traffic would come to a full stop when someone decided to do a burnout on the street. It was great fun. As a photographer, you just had to lift the camera in any direction to get a fun shot, and I have nine flickr set to prove it. Then came the complaints from the neighbors. So the event changed location. I attended, but it was not much fun. So they moved it again to the Moonshine Cruisers club here at Larsboda. It was kinda boring. Then came the pandemic and the event was cancelled for two years. This year it was back. But very different. No party until the evening, and you would need a ticket for that. So it was just the cars when I was there. And this smoking area where Janne-Taxi is talking to someone. But don't worry, I am currently going through the car photos I took and I will be showing them to you in the next few days.

So of course I looked up rokning har. A useful phrase for me. I'll be 80 in a few years, so I'll know where I need to go without asking.

I'd like to know what they are talking about, but then I'm nosey.

I first met him back in 2009, when I was doing a lot of street portraits. He told me his life story then and there. It was quite interesting.

Janne is one of those guys with countless stories. He has lived a very tough life, with many ups and downs.

Looks like a spirited conversation between 2 people who by the looks of it have no trouble expressing their opinions. Another beautiful candid picture.
