I have always really enjoyed old, unreliable, and unnecessary things. See this entire website and the things I choose to document, spend money on, and fix. One thing that always catches my eye are vehicles people refuse to let die and even take a step further to customize them. Not the fancy cars rich people pay someone else to refurbish or rebuild. The cars that, when you see them, you instantly know who is inside because no one else would be caught dead in there. The cars you will never see two of because one is more than enough and frankly shouldn’t exist. I have two photos on this website, and likely more in my archive, of these cars. The first is “Tire Vampire,” shot on super old and expired Kodak Safety film I got in a bulk loader from an estate sale for a dollar. Which reminds me I really need to shoot the rest of that film. The film is likely from the 1950s, and its corrosion probably adds to the dilapidated depiction of this person’s work of horror car fan fiction. I saw it in the parking lot of Menards when I was picking up hardware to hang a chandelier in the baby’s room. The other photograph on this website that would fit the book is “Great White Van,” the photo of the shark mouth crudely attached to a rusted-out van. This work of art was deteriorating in someone’s driveway in Verona, Wisconsin. The baby was crying in the backseat, and it was a hot Memorial Day, but the drive back to my in-laws’ home was delayed further by my insistance to stop and capture this “predator van” (because a shark is a predator and or because it seems "fishy" double pun) that looked like salt water from the roads had done a number on it. My favorite photograph of a car I have taken has nothing to do with the car itself and much more to do with the typography and name printed on the side of the van: “Zoo Express.” Something about the font that is used and the name has always made me happy with that photo, which really is just a photograph of text I like at this point. I will continue to keep my eyes peeled for these four-wheeled abominations and compile a book or, much more likely, a zine, of my collection.

More writing here. Keep going. The post has no sidebar, no widgets, nothing competing with the text. Just the words and whatever images you put in.
You can use blockquotes for fragments, quotes, or anything you want to pull out from the main flow of the text.
And then more writing after that. That's it. That's the whole thing.
