Polling 4 of 4
Thanks so much for voting. This post will end the “candidates” soliciting feedback for my 2020 calendar. The calendar is now a “go,” although voting will stay open until December 21, ie, if you are just hearing about this and have not yet voted–one winner for each month–you can still express your choice, carefully telling […]
Polling 3 of 4
A big thanks for reading and VOTING. Once again, see the December 5 post for instructions. Today’s post has only two months, so your vote will be two letters. Ask your friends to vote. Voting hasn’t closed for previous installments, and I won’t close the voting until December 21. Here are the August choices. A […]
Polling 2 of 4
Thanks for responding to the poll. Some trends emerge, which made me give the photos a second look. If you missed the rules from yesterday’s post, click here. I’m astonished by the top vote getter: the January photo B, a shot I took on . . . and one I almost withdrew from the set […]
Polling 1 of 4
First, happy sinterklaas day. Here’s my goal for the next few posts: since it’s the time of year when some folks think of making 2020 calendars, I’m asking you for feedback on various photos for a possible calendar. I realize unanimity is impossible. I’ve quickly gone through my archives month by month and chosen a […]
Cranes: Chesapeake 1000
Note about ongoing voting below. Also, previous “cranes” posts can be found here. I’ve long included photos of Chesapeake 1000 but never devoted a post to it. These posts here and here from seven years ago are my favorites, largely because my camera and I just happened onto the lift while prowling at night, not […]
More Tubular
But first . . . polling is still OPEN for photos for the 2020 calendar pages, but in the interest of completing tasks in a timely fashion, I’ve decided that if I received zero votes by Sunday, December 15, I’ll declare it closed. Additional nominations for the December page can also still be offered until […]
Random ULCVs 1
Update on the calendar voting, i.e., “polling… 1 through 4” you’ve now seen the options for each month, but voting remains open, and I’m still accepting candidates for the December page. And I’m grateful for all the voting so far. Less than a handful of years back, a buzz could be heard in all […]
Exotics Convergence
Polling has not yet ended, the clock goes on for two more days now, since I got a bunch of votes last night. With all certainty, though, polls will close on December 21 . . . earlier if two days elapse without a single new vote. Your votes and suggestions –in comments and in emails–have […]
Thomas J. Brown 2
Thomas J. Brown came off the ways in 1962 as Thomas J. Brown. Here‘s part 1 of this post, from almost a decade ago, and here are many photos since . . . 1962 is the same vintage as this truck, then newly arrived as a grounds truck for a Queens cemetery. John Glenn went […]
