THROWBACK THURSDAY


The early 1960's.  Pressed into action on a day off to shoot film of a building fire.

(Yes, it was "film" in those days and it had to be processed before we could see what we had.  And, yes, I really was that slim once upon a time.)

    1. Or a Bolex, maybe. We had both and I can't remember which was which.

  2. Lean, eager and close to the action! Great shot. If I were a promo person at your station I would have played that up!

  3. Ah to be young and slender again. Halcyon days, eh?
