cool coincidence ...my dad too.. was a professional.
the collection of cameras nest to his darkroom was a wonder to behold.
there are still a lot of people who use the large format film cameras even given the price of silver...there days.
I laid off making photographs for well over thirty years before diving back into it about a dozen years ago.

No...I don’t recall the Airshow. It is very probable that all happened the same week though. It just makes sense.
However, YEARS later, I got buzzed by two Blue Angels as I was driving on Rt 128 near Hanscom!
That was one of those days I DIDN’T have my camera!

I was cleaning out my Mom’s basement last year and i came across my old enlarger. It was a Vivitar and weighed a ton. I could still smell the developer in the room. You never forget that smell!

“Why is there always ONE poster with arrested psycho-social development on every FR thread?”
My comment was alluding to the popular urine and feces artworks, which were lauded by many. Are you an artiste?

My handle “Left That Other Site” tells my story! I was hounded off GOPUSA (Supposedly a Conservative site) for dubbing Obama “The Lyin’ King”. that was back in 2009. I joined FR and never looked back.

Priced for masochists. I have seen Rothko's work in person and and when it comes to 2-dimensional art, I'm quite open minded. But I have never understood why anyone would pay so much for his crap, and never will.
It's worth noting that Rothko committed suicide. I think his "art" reflects its general usefulness to mankind. It's hopeless.
