We’ll have some announcements coming through this newsletter in January - new offerings in the HD footage library, a new website and more, but today, we just want to wish you and yours a Merry Christmas and a very happy New Year.  Tracy and Lauren Ready Until then, here’s some seasonal fun: <h1><a name="1" id="1"></a>Johnson City Lights</h1> A little trip through the Hill Country is always a good thing, and this holiday season is no exception.  <img src="http://www.texasb-roll.com/images/newsletter/court-house.jpg" width="144" height="95" hspace="8" vspace="8" align="left">In the town of Johnson City, on Hwy 281 north of San Antonio they light up the old Blanco County courthouse on the square with one hundred thousand lights. If you are headed to San Antonio from Dallas this holiday, do yourself a favor and skip I-35.  The drive down 281 South has always been one of our favorites, and you can enjoy this beautiful display of light as well. The entire town is in on the act, with millions of lights, a charming small town holiday with plenty of spirit.

But don’t worry, she’s dressed! This is family friendly video fare, and pretty impressive! We shipped him a camera, provided a little direction and postproduction and now here it is!

As many of you know, our crack editorial staff (me) makes a living as a Director of Photography and Writer / Producer.

(See "Trace Productions News" later in this edition) The newsletter got started at least 3 times, but never "made air."* But now, we're "good to go." We hope you enjoy this expanded edition. Given my overload and until I can teach the field mice to type, this newsletter will now be bi-monthly, and I'll endeavor to keep it on time. The next issue will be released in January. Occasionally, we will send a short update in the off month, but you'll never receive more than two emails a month from this list, and never one morsel of SPAM.

Nope, we want some "conditioned air", while bellied up to a big plate of ribs and brisket, washing it down with a cool brew followed by a nap! If only we had the time� There are some big chain operations that lay down decent barbecue, but the true experience comes from enjoying the hand-prepared goodness found in smaller, family owned places across the state.

It was an amazing trip to some very interesting parts of the globe. The upcoming documentary profiles civilian employees of KBR, in their support roles to US troops, all around the world. I had the pleasure of traveling and working with Producer Lauren Tompkins, of Image Source (Thanks for the work!) and Teddy to replace another Houston based crew that began the journey in Afghanistan and Iraq. I guess we got the light end of that assignment! It was interesting, to say the least, as our Lufthansa flight to Kuwait took us directly over Baghdad, Iraq. The sun was setting but we could see fires burning below, and it was an eerie site. Kuwait was a strange mix of Islamic culture and western commercialism. Kosovo (Albania) was an interesting, beautiful, but tragic place. We met friendly people all along the trip including many Texans working at the military bases. By the time I returned, though, I was ready for some tex-mex dining, I can tell you that. 10 Years Running September of 2005 marks 10 years that I have been able to make a living in this industry. In 1995, I left a staff job with CNN to go freelance. It’s certainly had its ups and downs, but I really wouldn’t change any of it, it’s been such a fun ride. I can only say thanks to countless individuals and companies that have sought my services over the years. In particular, I thank these fine individuals for their friendship and support in helping to keep me from getting a “real job”: John and June Ready, Clay Meyers, Max Warren, Greg Coon, Bob Humphrey, Joe and Debbie Cantu, Jay Stowers, Orion Linekin, Pat Broyles, Dale and Linda Hancock, David Henson, Kurt Lang, Lisa Hampshire, Austin Anderson, Michael Kitkoski, and Jason Snyder.
