Hood ornament of a classic Packard automobile on display in front of the State Theater in Modesto, CA during a 35th Anniversary celebration of my Modesto homie George Lucas's breakthrough film, "American Grafitti."

Widescreen view (no freakin' pan and scan allowed...) as Academy Award winning cinematographer Haskell Wexler, ASC uses his mini DV camera to record a close-up of a Packard automobile hood ornament. He was in Modesto on May 31, 2008 to speak on a panel to commemorate the 35th Anniversary of my Modesto homie George Lucas's breakthrough film, "American Grafitti." Wexler served as visual consultant for the film. I brought along two DVD copies of "The Secret of Roan Inish" for him to autograph, which was filmed by Wexler and directed by John Sayles.
