BEFORE & AFTER FEATURE

    Over the last several years I have had the opportunity to photograph apparatus whose appearance has changed, either from one department to another, or within the same department. Sometimes the change is as simple as a reassignment from one unit number to another, other times it is a re-paint or full rehab of the truck. Here is a sampling of this type of "Before & After" since 2003.
