Here are some motorcycle and motorcycle racing photographs.

The Half-Frame

This is an example of a “half frame” 35mm camera. Well, not the best of images, but I am in the process of scanning some 35mm negatives and the half frames do not exactly fit in the scanner tray.

The Original Can Of Worms

My father (to the left) and his friend Ken, circa 1970, by “the original Can Of Worms” vending machine. I unfortunately do not know where this photograph was taken, other than maybe somewhere in New England, perhaps Massachusetts.

Dogs of Iquitos, Peru, July, 2008

In the colorful city of Iquitos, Peru, there are many lazy dogs laying and lounging about in the
doorways and corners of the streets.

Motorcycle Guys

These photographs were taken by my late father, Frank W. Jennings, circa 1960. The first is of some of his buddies admiring a Yamaha 350 motorcycle — I am pretty certain that this was taken in Boston (corner of Gaffney St. & Commonwealth Ave.).

‘Trouble’

Trouble is a microscopic Chinese Crested Dog.

Robert Frost Farm

I visited the Robert Frost Farm in Derry, NH, last June after I read that the tree said to have inspired some of his poems was to be cut down because it “posed a safety hazard.” A branch had already fallen from the tree.

According to the Boston Globe, “Wood from the tree was distributed to artisans, who have plans to craft it into walking sticks, bowls, furniture and other items.” A new tree is to be planted in the spring.

From the Albums

These are photographs from my family photo-albums. I do not know who took them, other than it was someone in my family using a 35mm camera.

These were taken about 1978. The car is a Nash–I do not know the year or model. The “pipe” is a gas canon that my brother Tom made–a 3″ dia. pipe with the end flattened and bent over, a sparkplug and coil as the igniter; just add some gasoline… It worked. That’s my brother Frankie pointing to it. (I do not recall what the small tube in his mouth was for.)
