1970 Ferrari 512 S Modulo Photographed by Benedict Redgrove
It’s hard to mention a unique Ferrari without the name Pininfarina coming up. In 1970, the fabled coachmaker put forth a design study/concept car that we can still stare at in amazement even today. We’re sure the 1970 Geneva Motor Show was breathtaking in its own right, but there’s no doubt that the Modulo was the crown jewel of the show. According to legend, Ferrari (in direct competition with Porsche) created 25 iterations of the 512S in order to meet homologation rules. Surprisingly, Maranello did not end of selling nor racing all 25, leaving chassis number 1046 in Pinanfarina’s hands. The result, as you see here, is a timeless design that is simply stunning in its forward thinking and aesthetics. The 512S was never designed to be driven one inch, and it doesn’t have to move to for one to appreciate features like its covered wheels, sliding canopy roof, and 24-hole engine cover. Simply stunning, and we have photographer Benedict Redgrove to thank for these images.

100 Days in Glacier National Park
The 100 Days in Glacier National Park project is the vision of Chris Peterson, editor of Glacier Park Magazine. The blog is a chronicle of photos of the national park over a span of over 100 consecutive days, using a variety of film and digital cameras. What makes this project unique is that Peterson used cameras that would have been used over the course of the park’s 100 years, such as an 8 by 10 field camera, a Kodak Pocket Vest camera (circa 1909) and a Speed Graphic. The photos will also be featured in a special edition of Glacier Park Magazine, due out in March 2010.
