I don't see why people would think it was difficult. Jacques Henri
Lartigue was
doing action shots quite a long time ago.

I wish I had the money to experiment like he did.

You mean for all the film? I think the camera he used was not that
complicated. It would be fun to go to a vintage car meet, the Mille
Miglia, or even a bicycle race, and try some images. Even just getting a
few frames could show some really cool images. So why not try something?

Ciao!

Where were you when my beautiful hand-built car went up in a huge ball of
flames a month ago, Gordon? ;(

Which reminds me - I'm conflicted - should I take my '58 Bug or big or the
old Suburban to Burning Man?

Cut the top off the Suburban, the bottom off the VW and weld the two together.

Cut the front off the VW and weld the arse end of it into the tailgate of
the suburban ... with sort of a 'splat' look to it.

Yeah, we used to do weld Bug tops to the VW Bus. Made a slow bus even
slower.
