I am so inspired by the photographic ability of this bunch! Why don't we put a Forum book together? People would enjoy it. Our take on Airstreaming in this generation. All of us have looked at the airstream pictures of the past. What are we going to leave to future airstreamers? My hat is off to you all. As an artist, I always find so much pleasure and inspiration in our monthly photo contests. Maybe we could create a 2008 calender with each month's 2007 winners. Ok...I am done gushing....lol

well, it was probably the Airstream quality of its time. Borax wagons in Death Valley.

Yo Zep, that's a bit of a stretch. Any chance you're just looking for an opportunity to display some of your fine photos? . . .

Nice work.

Nice work.

Thanks. Yes, I am shameless. If it was truly fine work I would have Photoshopped the shadow of my head out of the foreground!

However, I have to admit that sometimes I go places where I wish I had wheels that diameter on my Airstreams--like Saline Valley.

Well then, we've come to the end of yet another installment of the Airforums Photo Of The Month. To the winner, a not so crisp FIVE DOLLAR BILL and of course the dubious distinction of becoming the judge of the Photo Of The Month for June. Also, according to sfixx (April's contest Judge), Vintage Trailer Supply has committed to supporting the forums photo contest monthly through the end of this year with a $10 Gift Certificate to each winner!!!

Here now are my favorites, in no particular order, from which I will choose the winner, 1st and 2nd runners up.

Minnie's Mate · 06-01-2007, 11:30 AM

I could tell you my favorite of those above, but I don't want to sway the decision of the judge. Let's see if it wins.

rebfa · 06-01-2007, 11:34 AM

it looks to me that it will be a tough decision. all those entries are excellent. good luck to everyone.

**azflycaster** · 06-01-2007, 11:36 AM

The B&W format was a great choise. This month has had some of the best pictures IMO. I wonder what June will bring?

rfield54 · 06-01-2007, 12:18 PM

Alright now. Let's get things rolling with the 2nd Runner Up. This was really the toughest choice because this morning I had a clearer idea of my choices for winner and 1st Runner Up, but the remaining six were almost too close to call.

2nd RUNNER UP: YUKIONNA'S BAMBI

Minnie's Mate · 06-01-2007, 12:22 PM

I agree it is a tough one, but one of the remaining finalist is still my first choice from its artistic and interpretive merits.

rfield54 · 06-01-2007, 12:35 PM

...And in the event the winner can not fulfill his or her contest obligations, the 1st Runner Up: FERMANTE'S TRANQUIL LAKE SCENE FROM BRITISH COLUMBIA

I love this shot. It brings me to a place I can now only dream about...a less complicated world.

rfield54 · 06-01-2007, 01:03 PM

AND THE WINNER IS (drumroll please):

ZEPPELINIUM'S AIRSTREAMIN' IN THE WHEAT COUNTRY OF THE NORTHWEST

Well, I have to reveal that the two most important attributes I was looking for this month were balance, and (black /white) contrast. This image excels at both. Interestingly, this photo was entered in the July '06 contest along with another - more colorful - photo by zeppelinium. Zep's color image won that month, but I was of the opinion that this one was maybe more deserving. Well, I can finally sleep at night. Congratulations Roger.

TinShack · 06-01-2007, 01:14 PM

That one was my favorite too! Congrats Zep

yukionna · 06-01-2007, 05:16 PM

Thanks for the 2nd runner up award! That was a nice surprise to come home to today.

Congrats to Zep for his win! Good job!

Zeppelinium · 06-01-2007, 05:42 PM

Thanks, one and all. I have to tell you my favorite was the view from the "slot" windows. Very Airstream! I'm going to be off line the second half of the month, so maybe I'll have to trade duties somehow with next month's winner. Anyone know who that is?

Zep

AirstreamGypsy · 06-01-2007, 05:46 PM

And especially Zep! Now he has to judge. Make it a challenge!

Deepest sympathy for your friend.

Blu_Hwy_Lady,

Thank you. All I can get is wind and uphill. Trailer swaying. Then touching the dirt shoulder and it was all over. Narrow shoulder and a sharp drop off contributed to the total rollover.

Attached to the vehicle means it falls under the policy of the tow vehicle. Showed this to my State Farm agent as a "what if????" - Yep covered by the vehicle. Maybe not in full and they may haggle but I would push the issue.

Excuse me - I don't want to be accused of hijacking a thread - back to the pictures.

Mike,
Thanks, I'll make sure the owner knows.
