kmuncie Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 Hello all, new member here! I wanted to show off my personal Volvo photoblog project that I have been working on for over a year. I just passed 100 photos so now I feel like it real enough to start sharing more. :) http://aswedishcar.tumblr.com/ It all started when I moved to Brooklyn and realized how many beautiful and unique Volvo's there are parked all over the place, plus NYC has some awesome backdrops. So I began photographing them and posting them to this tumblr blog. I don't currently own a Volvo since I have a way to work on my own vehicle while living in this city, but hope to one day. Hope you all enjoy the photos :) Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burn-E Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 Nice tumblr. So you're from the NW Pacific originally and that's what drives the Volvo interest? So many older bricks and wagons but only one S70 and no C70s. Do you specifically look for the 240's and and 740's or do you photograph any Volvo you find?

Originally from Texas which has a serious lack of Volvo's, but my wifes family is in Portland which is why there are some shots from there, its a gold mine when we visit. There are alot of bricks and wagons because that is what is most prevalent in the Brooklyn neighborhoods I am in most often. I photograph any I find, so hopefully I can keep increasing the variety I have. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyfishing3 Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 i like it, but i'd be a little jacked if somebody was taking pics of my car and posting their approx. location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burn-E Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 Mike, the traffic on that site is probably so low trust me no one is going to use it as a basis for identifying cars to steal. If he was shooting Porsches or even Hondas then there might be something to worry about. Nobody steals Volvos. That, and there's been a massive drop in car theft in NYC from 147k in 1990 to 7,400 in 2013. Immmobilizers do wonders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIGHT! Just ask AJ's wife about this. Someone posted her Saff on FB and Paulo posted both there name and area where they lived, etc... I get creeped out knowing folks take photos of Bleucar and post them all over the place... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBoy8 Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 What's even creepier is when a certain somebody takes said license plate and uses that on Carfax to find out the whole history of the car and tells everybody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean like every map on Google? And lol at the pack of hipsters in Portland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theForgottenone Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 The nicest were that orange v50 and s60. Poor that rare canary v40 had some scratch on rear door. portland is a Mecca of Volvo. You see them without even try to look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Morton Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 I really enjoy seeing pictures of cars on the road and checked out 4 pages of them on your site. What really bugs me about a lot of the car photo blogs and tumblers is the distortion from the cell phone cameras; most evident in how the wheels and tires are stretched at different angles into the corners.
