Monday, December 7, 2009 – Blue Christmas

Christmas comes to the Saddle Ranch Chop House (formerly the Thunder Roadhouse) – 8371 Sunset Boulevard, on the Sunset Strip. Dennis Hopper and Peter Fonda were key investors in the original Thunder Road, using their profits from that "Easy Rider" movie. There was a specialty motorcycle place next door of the same name – extreme choppers – but that's long gone. But for a time it all fit together.

Now it's just kitsch. Elvis, Blue Christmas – whatever.

If you wish to use any of these photos for commercial purposes I assume you'll discuss that with me. And should you choose to download any of these images and use them invoking the "fair use" provisions of the Copyright Act of 1976, please provide credit, and, on the web, a link back to this site.

Technical Note:

These photographs were taken with a Nikon D200 – the lenses used were AF-S Nikkor 18-70 mm 1:35-4.5G ED, or AF Nikkor 70-300 mm telephoto.  The high-resolution photography here was modified for web posting using Adobe Photoshop 7.0 software.
