A Quickie!

Not sure what or if I'll be blog-able today as I'm ON ASSIGNMENT!! I have to take photos of a 1955 Porsche Spyder. It was the very first sports car that Porsche created . . . .and it has 65 miles on it!

This was the make of car that James Dean was piloting when he fatally collided with another car.

A couple wanted some images in the woods during fall color season.

And speaking of fall colors - I gave a home brew class Saturday and as I was racing down the 151 Speedway from Columbus to Sun Prairie I managed to get this image.

Do not ask how I got it - just go with the flow. This might help - close your eyes and read on.

Just imagine you are Buz and Todd racing down Route 66 on another adventure (although they had a Corvette and were not in Wisconsin)but while working at the Columbus logging camp, you meet a girl from Italy, who insists she has inherited the state of Oregon from a local man and for some reason it all makes sense!

Or you are Chuck and P.T in your Whirlybird flying way way to low or or you are SKY KING and your teen age niece Penny** landing in your Cessna T-50 twin-engine "Bamboo Bomber" catching criminals, spies and lost hikers.

ZOOM
BTW - good photo for your desktop.

** Penny is referenced in a Jimmy Buffet in his hit song "Pencil Thin Mustache" singing the lyrics "I remember bein' buck-toothed and skinny, writing' fan letters to Sky's niece, Penny".

For your entertainment - I bring you "Pencil Thin Mustache".

  1. Wow! That picture is gorgeous. I love how it looks like a painting when it is enlarged.

    A car that old has 65 miles on it? I'm skeptical.

    Pencil Thin is one of my favorite Jimmy B songs even tho I have no idea who it is written about or what you are talking about :)
