Brian Bowen-Smith Frames Pandemic America in a Beautiful Vintage Ford
“I actually never even thought about looking at the world through my car until the pandemic,” photographer Brian Bowen-Smith tells us. “It’s a 1958 Ford F1 hundred that can’t sit too long so every once in a while I will take it out for a spin…When I was photographing my neighbor I noticed that it looked really cool through all of the windows because of the curves.” That’s how BBS Drivebys was born. So Brian took his car and went on a true road trip around America during the pandemic. The result is a timeless look that he got by shooting with his Leica.
