What’s in a car? That’s what photographer Orrin Anderson is wondering. Since March 2008 he’s been taking photos of classic vans in and around his neighborhood of Echo Park, Los Angeles. The vans seem like a unique subject as does his preferable mode of shooting, in his own words, “I prefer the van to be the only vehicle in the shot, and I like to shoot in flat, gray light, which is really only common around here during June gloom, so that limits things a bit.” We’re looking forward to seeing the collection grow.
