It's Good to be mobile |
A Photo essay.

The 20th century introduced the automobile as a mean's of transportation and called it the "American Love Affair"
People would say " You could be there in ten minutes"
"Why walk when you can ride"
"When he's walkin I'll be riden " said one high school student, with a
competitive tone.
The person who owns a car has a link or identity with the
machine.
The reflection of personality through the vehicle is no coincidence.
The shape and color and how it runs pretty much run's like its owner.
Combining taste and income for their choice.
The alternative for mobility came with the fitness craze of the 80's and 90's...
Saying! Exercise!
Don't Sit!
Get Moving!
Get a bike!
Walking and jogging are needed.
The experts were setting a trend and the public felt lazy.
I can still hear the groans of
Fitness Resistance.
"It looks like work"
"I'm tired just thinking about it"
"How much is the gym?"
"Can jogging really hurt your ankles?"
The trend kicked in with a new language.
"I have new running shoes"
"I put in 10 miles today"
"I'm down to 160"
"My pulse is 120"
"Do you drink a lot of water?"
It's good that things move forward.
Sameness is boredom.
Change is never backwards.
