It sounded promising but it was a disaster

Those pictures are from one of my first shootings that was taken with a digital camera. My career in photography started in the analog era and as I have said before, the transition was quite traumatic for myself. I loved my analog, medium format Hasselblad and I was considering everything digital as fancy garbage. I refused to accept the fact that analog photography was about to extinct and when I did, my business was practically extinct too :) I am not regretting anything, actually I am glad things went that way and gave me the opportunity to change my life drastically and as I see it now, for the better! I wanted though to give you the background story of this shooting!
The date was March 23, 2005 and the camera a Canon EOS20D. I had in my disposal an amazing car, a beautiful girl as a model and a stylist that was carrying a bunch of staff. It sounded promising but it was a disaster :)
At the end of the day I was exhausted, both physically and mentally. Everyone at the team was at each other's throats and I hated that silly little camera that I was using all day long! I never saw the stylist or the model again but I do have a few pictures that you might find interesting.
The concept was that the girl is going for shopping with her amazing car and I was about to illustrate this wonderful day. I was assigned by a magazine I was working for and the big sponsor of the whole production was (as you can imagine) Volvo.
The editing is new and hopefully better than the original one :)
The reason that I remembered this old story today, is no other than @derangedvisions's weekly photography contest and the theme this week is "cars". I am sure you'll have at least one cool car shot to enter too :)

All the pictures and the words are mine.
