Happy New Year: Night Shooting Japan with the Canon 30D DSLR

Apple Holiday Catalog, 1983

What says “Happy Holidays” better than a new computer? Trinkets of course! And there are some real beauties on the list. Personally, I can’t decide between the possibilities of getting high off my love for Apple with their kite, or passing out in a drunken depression over Apple’s newest lawsuit troubles with their tumblers. Either…

World’s Most Ugly Expensive Office Chair
