Showing a bit of leg

One reason I had for shooting 1950s greaser girls at the big meet was a Utata project at flickr. The idea was to pay homage to one of six photographers, and I choose Bunny Yeager who took a lot of photos of Pettie Page. This is Mimmie. She was very easy to work with, very happy and positive. Two more Mimmie photos at flickr in case you are interested.

rear-end shooting

I did a bit of rear-end shooting at the big meet at Vegabaren. Lots of vintage American cars here.

Sideburn Danne

Meet Danne. A cool "raggare". With very realistic (not), looking sideburns! He had entered the competition for best looking hairstyle at the Grand Prix Raggarbil at Vegabaren.

Susanna

Shooting portraits of the greaser girls (raggarbrudar), at the big meet at Vegabaren is always great fun. The first raggarbrud I saw when I arrived was Susanna. She looked great with that red hair, yellow dress, handbag, red shoes and cupcake tattoos.

The Highway Patrol

Always fun to hang with the people in the unique Swedish subculture "Raggare" . That's what I did on Saturday during the 19th Grand Prix Raggarbil event at Vegabaren in Handen. That meant seeing a lot of American cars from the 1950s to the 1970s. Most of them in mint condition. But not all of them as you can see here. There are a few great competitions at the event, one of them being Worst Looking Greaser Car. This one has travelled all the way from Värmland to take part. And, yes this former Highway Patrol car has passed the vehicle inspection, that is a rule if you want to be part of this meet. I will show you much more cars and people from this meet in the next few days.
