Please consider this your Christmas card, dear readers. And I do hope you have a marvelously, crackling, explosively good time this holiday season.

This image is on one of my favorite Christmas cards this year–from longtime friends Kathy Talley and Alan Sailer. For the past year or so, Alan’s been experimenting with shooting different objects with a pellet gun and recording the results with a high speed camera. The results, some of which I’ve posted on this blog, are astonishing. Go see.

If I produced Christmas cards for next year with his images, would you buy them? What’s one of your favorite Christmas cards?
