A new blog on my website. Sprocket Rocket snapshots, musings and a little guitar picking. This is the first posting of an ongoing effort of riding the Sprocket Rocket in search of Americana.
The front hood and grill of a 1963 Dodge 800 sedan photographed at the 2nd Annual Grand Car Show at the Copper Shores Village in Pleasant Hill, Iowa.
Developed with Darktable 3.6.0.
A long time ago, my first camera, bad focal length, low quality definition, but I find these pictures of Mexico still have a kind of charm.

Cooper's Hawk dodging a gull. I had too much lens to get both of them in the frame but it was cool watching the Coop do a barrel roll to get away from the California Gull.
Seen at the Asphalt Angels car show in Doswell, Virginia. Surprisingly affordable, this car was for sale for 22k

This style of Dodge Coronet R/T offered for model years 1966-67. This one has the grille of the 1967 model. The performance R/T was available with the 440 cubic inch V8 or the 426 Hemi optional.
The license plate has been altered for privacy.
As I was leaving an old, greasy-spoon restaurant here in rural NEOhio, this well-worn Dodge pickup caught my eye. Circa 1968.
Available during the 1970 model year, this T/A edition of the Challenger was offered to meet homologation requirements for the SCCA Trans-Am series. It was equipped with a 340 cubic inch V-8 with three 2-barrel carburetors. The cars used in the races had de-stroked engines of 303 cubic inch displacement in order to stay within the 5-Liter (305 cubic inch) limit for the class.
This "Willet" was busy dodging the breakers and the globs of Sea Foam washing ashore as he hunted for Sand Crabs.
The Sea Foam or Spume is ginned up by the wave action particularly when it contains dissolved organic particles from offshore algae. Have a great weekend everybody.
On the first full day of my Autumn In The Alps trip I had a tough decision to make. Do I sit around my hotel in Munich and hope that British Airways calls me with news of my missing bag...or do I head out with the clothes on my back and live like a hobo for the next 8 days? After spending 20 minutes getting nowhere with the nice young lady from India, my decision was clear. In spite of British Airways' best attempts to derail my trip (bumping me to a later flight, losing my bag and then refusing to give me any information for four days) I ignored the fact that I had no luggage and was now missing the big tripod, and headed to the Dolomites with nothing but my camera gear and the back up Benro that I had brought for just such an occasion.
By late afternoon, I was pulling into the Val di Funes and setting off for St John's Chapel. The few hours that I spent in this valley will stay with me for the rest of my life. After shooting around St John's, I headed up the steep hillside behind me and found another 20 or so photographers setting up for the sunset. Not wanting to be part of the pack, I headed further up the hill, and then just sat....and soaked it all in. The clinking of the cow bells. The church bells ringing out over the valley for Sunday evening mass. I dodged a couple of tractors driven by stern looking weather beaten farmers who seemed to roll their eyes at the small army of photographers. I couldn't help but wonder....do you ever get used to it? No matter how hard my day was as a farmer....to look up and see that view...in all directions....would you ever want to leave?
I certainly didn't, but it was a long drive to Slovenia and it was already getting dark. Reluctantly, I packed up and headed back down the mountain.

Photo taken by my dad somewhere in Los Angeles circa 1960. That's my mom with our 1957 Dodge 4-door sedan. This was scanned off of a photo print which I believe was a print from a transparency.
My mom was born in 1922. So as I post this for today it would have been the occasion of her 100th birthday! She passed away in 2015, being not quite 93 years old. She was of course, a wonderful, loving mother to my sister and me for which we are forever grateful and we honor her today for this occasion.
The 1957 Dodge shown was a bit of an oddity. It was a model meant for export, the 'Kingsway.' What made it unusual in the US was that the rear was that of a 1957 Plymouth! It was originally ordered for overseas use but plans changed, so it was held here in the US for my dad to to pick up at the embarkation point in San Francisco.
When I was much older, my mom told me that because this was configured in this way and with the 'Kingsway' emblem, there were occasions in which a stranger would ask my dad if he was from Canada. Because my dad was coincidentally raised in Vancouver, BC, sometimes his thought was that perhaps the person was someone he might have known. But apparently it wasn't uncommon for Chrysler Corporation to sell such Dodge/Plymouth fusion models in Canada, and some in the past were named 'Kingsway' just like this one. Thus those friendly questions arose because of the rare southern California appearance of this unusual Dodge+Plymouth "hybrid"!
