Season’s Greetings From Your Sinclair Dealer

And even more greetings from a Christmas Day drive thru the backroads, all fossil-powered and very traditional. That’s Santa back there with the Misses, behind the dinosaur.

The Christmas Bulb

Nearing the end of the year, a time to sit back and edit all those shots that stretch years into the past. Many not scanned, resting like cordwood on contact sheets under camera parts and cans of air. Changed my OS so many times that I’m sure the scanner needs emergency driver updates too. But here, I’ve found the secret to Santa’s lead sleigh-runner. And in case I become forgetful, Merry Christmas! Bring on 2010.

Just so you know, there are bargains yet to be had in front of Harry Winston, W 56th and 5th NYC. REAL designer jewelry for only $10. (And if you look at Google Street View, you’ll see the sale has been going on for some time.)

Radio Berlin International

Nothing to do with photography, but since we’re at the anniversary of the Berlin wall tumbling down, I think back and remember, as a shortwave-listening DX-obsessed lad, the last broadcast of East Germany’s Radio Berlin International. RBI was a great catch for us SWL fans as their QSL package often included pennants, booklets, bookmarks and other gifts. Their last broadcast was 2nd Oct., 1990, before RBI was absorbed by Radio Deutsche Welle. Interesting to listen to now as the final program was tinged with bitterness at the unification. Hear for yourself in 2 parts…

Challenge at Monticello Motor Club

Returned from Monticello, NY and the CTS-V (Bob Lutz) Challenge (search the web for more info and race results). Started very rainy & cloudy, but sunshine prevailed and so did the Cadillac CTS-V. Most of what I shot was HD video, so until I sort through my stills, here are a couple images that caught my eye from around the Monticello Motor Clubhouse…

UPDATE: yes, my footage used well on SpeedChannel’s half hour CTS-V Challenge show from December 8.
