Auto Racing
by Geo Ham
Coupes de Paris/1955
Closeup of driver racing his car.Avoiding the standard view of racing machines zooming by, Ham offers an alternative - a close-up of an intent driver. Although the image appears still, Ham imbues it with enough tension to show the man's determined concentration on his task. The Paris Cup was a sports car event, won that year by Teddy Pilette in a Gordini 6.
