The second installment of Collage Chronicles brings the little Isetta to a forgotten part of town, but maybe the nooks and crannies are where we learn the most. For me, all three photos in this series really embody exploration. Looking forward to getting out there and seeing the world again one day!
For me, stumbling on interesting cars in strange locations is one of the most exciting parts about shooting in the city. I cannot explain how stoked I was to find a pristine little BMW Isetta nestled in this sunlit alley in Old City.
Originally of Italian descent, the Isetta was a quirky time for German engineering. With it's roaring 1 cylinder engine topping out at a massive 53 mph, I'm sure you can imagine what the horn sounds like. Beep Beep!
Fun Fact: All Isettas came equipped with canvas tops. Because the entire front end of the vehicle doubles as the only door, in the case of a front end collision, the roof is the only way out!
