PHOTOGRAPHERS LOCATION NOTES

A chance comment by a relative of Sarge's wife, took him to an old mud walled (pise) barn in the Isere region of France, where this image was created - it was minus 10 degrees Celsius and snowing.

Sarge was on vacation visiting his wife's relatives and was caught off guard having no professional photographic equipment with him, it was a make do with what's available exercise. 

He had to borrow a suitable camera, a few calls by family and friends to neighbours located the best available for the job. 

A graphic designer of provincial style farm tablecloths, living in the nearby village, had an ancient medium format Twin-Lens Reflex camera, eager to help, he loaned Sarge the museum piece with a gift of one pack of roll film (12 exposures) - there wasn't much room for error here.

No light meter with a totally unreliable camera, the winding mechanism kept jamming or misfeeding and the lens shutter kept freezing in the icy conditions - locked solid - the farmers wife volunteering her hair dryer to warm the mechanisms back to life.

Double/ multiple exposures, failed frames, everything went wrong, with only one frame being a successful exposure!

But then in the end you only need one good frame that’s all that matters.

The photographer kept freezing too, along with a very agitated wife and 2 irritable children who didn't think much of the holiday at this point in time.

The soft bluish/grey tone of this scene is a result the late afternoon winter sun reflecting off the snow though the open barn doors.

The 402B ceased production at the onset of WWII. The combination of beautiful slipstream styling and a relatively powerful engine (for its day) meant it looked and went well in a straight line, but regrettably an unfortunate combination of soggy suspension and inadequate brakes tended to result in the vehicle falling over on corners at an alarming rate.

Hence, most have had their running gear and suspension replaced with safer parts from other models and makes of cars, this one (now a Volvgeot) is owned by a country mechanic who loves its beautiful late 30's European styling and is going to restore it.
