ROADKILL RULES !!!

Here's a gallery I've put together from some of my "Roadkill" shots.
As you may know, a "Roadkill" shot is defined as any photograph taken
from a car window.

I think this might make a good mandate for a future Shoot-In, so
consider this as my official [SI] mandate submission. Motorcycle and
bicycle roadkill shots will also be acceptable, of course. Oh yeah, no
archived images for this one!

In the meantime, does anybody else have any good roadkill shots they'd
like to share?

I've been a roadkiller for years, although up until today I called it
"OTR" -- On The Road. My rule is the car must not be stopped.

Looking southeast from I-15 north of I-10. I think it is anchored at
California
Speedway. Or maybe a car dealer in Fontana ...

We are following the Rambler in a turn from westbound Mesa College
Drive (which may not yet have been renamed from "Artillery Road") to
northbound Ashford Street. At our left before the turn is Kearny High
School. To its west the next installation is the National Guard
Armory.

That particular armory was the source of a young man's joyride
vehicle: a military tank. You have undoubtedly seen the airborne video
of his rampage and its denoument a couple miles southeast, in the
median of Highway 163, right opposite the location of the Serra Mesa
School For Wayward Boys, Birdland.

From the armory the tank-driver's path was east to this intersection,
where he made a left and drove along the left curbline, crushing every
car he came upon. Continued north for four blocks, making another left
turn (west) at Ross Elementary School on Bagdad Street, crushing cars
and
disintegrating one RV. Left again, south on Armstrong, missing most
parked cars. Left on Beagle (east), making a wide turn and snapping
off a fire hydrant which bathed the corner house in water.

That corner is half a block south and a block east of where I am
sitting now, where I was sitting then, doing my telecommute business
on a peaceful Tuesday morning. I heard the monster exhaust sound and
the helicopters, and watched the remainder live on TV.

If you've seen the video, and I'll bet you have, you know the guy
continued east on Beagle, made the change to Linda Vista Road north;
Convoy northwest through one of the most travelled and populated
business areas in town, knocking over lamp posts and mailboxes; Left
(west) on Balboa; onramp to 805 south, merged to 163 south, tried to
flip a yooie over the concrete median divider, got hung up, got shot
dead.

Nice rambler.

Are you allowed to stage the shots? I have a few neighbours dogs I could
make roadkill submissions from.

Just remember, you have to shoot them from the car.

BTW, Kewfi, I have a bone to pick with you!
I was highly offended at your "Obsolete" shot featuring the Minidisc.
I still use my portable Sony MD recorder to make binaural recordings
from time to time.

The format isn't obsolete , not quite. In fact I heard recently Sony were
about to release a 3rd generation of Hi-MD portable recorders.
Realistically though, I believe the format doesn't have long to run and not
just Minidisc, alot of other removable storage formats are going to
disappear also, there is a major trend toward integrated storage.

Can I poison them and then just throw them on the road? I know technically
that they wouldn't be roadkill that way, but it's kinda like photoshop in a
macabre way.

Well, keep in mind that while poisoning can be done discreetly, your chances
of being apprehended are greatly increased when you lug them to the road,
especially if you need to make two trips! And then what are you going to
say, they were dead when I found them? Uh huh, that'll go over real well.

Best to play it safe and use a trebuchet to deposit the roadkill on the
road.

But there again I'd worry about the increased number of dogs you'd have to
poison (surely you'd need at least a couple extra to get your range).
