RAM truck Superbowl commercial


After watching the Super Bowl last night I kept thinking about the "Paul Harvey Dodge Ram Truck" commercial. It's quite obvious why I enjoyed the commercial. If you have not seen it you can click here . The imagery is beautiful, and of course Paul Harvey "THE" conservative radio broadcaster does an excellent job. However, after thinking about it so much, I realized. I tried to portray a picture with the same meaning.  But it was a mechanic....My father. I took a portrait of his hands when I was in photo school at Georgia State.
 My father is a diesel mechanic and has been for some 40 years now. His hands have always looked, some would say rough, but to me they are hard working.................... In public at the grocery store, bank, and restaurants I tend to notice "these hands" and I know exactly what they do. ..... I respect it.

 "It had to be somebody who'd plow deep and straight...and not cut corners."
