North Cabarrus Park

I decided to take a trip to a nearby park today. I've actually been planning on making a visit out there for the past few days now. It's only about 2 miles from where I live, but I didn't find out about it until about a week ago. So, here's a little about my trip to North Cabarrus Park.

Memory Lane Musuem

I visited the Memory Lane Museum located in Mooresville, NC today.

Overall, it was a great visit, very friendly staff and a welcoming atmosphere. They even have a friendly black lab to greet you at the door lol. First thing you'll notice when you walk in is a great little giftshop, there are all kinds of different interesting things in there to look at. But on to what I was there for, the museum.

As someone who enjoys looking at old cars, I loved this place. As a photographer, I found that a lot of the exhibits are hard to take pictures of, due to just how much is actually in this musuem. I just couldn't quite get the angles I wanted a lot of times, but I'm not saying that as a bad thing. You definitely get your moneys worth in this place, there's just so much to see! Now on to what this blog is about, the photos.

Old vintage race car
I chose a specific style for these shots; not quite vintage, not quite modern. A good balance in between that I felt complimented the exhibits. Memory Lane Museum has a lot of great things to look at, and I wanted to make sure that I did those old cars as much justice as I could. Just because I was limited in getting those full view car shots without background clutter, didn't mean that there weren't a whole lot of things to take photos of. My only regret is that
