Randy, this has also been my therapy for many years. I feel fortunate to be able to share it with a whole bunch of nice people. I also have a couple of other hobbies that I have been able to do that took the burden of this pea brain of mine. Photograpy, Golf, Weight lifting, baseball and women. Not especialy in that order, but I always come back to Stunt planes. This is what I call art so there is another hobby. It's like being a printer(which I was for 58 years) It gets in your blood and you can't let go I am proud to be a stunt grunt! who said there was not medication?
Leo....Look what I found this afternoon. What a beautiful model....this scanner doesn't do justice to the Purty Grabber-Punkin Orange color. That model looked so great against the blue ski..great finish also...Leo...after carefully looking at the background at the top portion of the slide..I can see what appears to be part of the flight hanger at Albany Oregon? Also I have photo taken with Ben Madsen that have that same kind of tire control barrier? Humm? The slide was processed at Mirrorlike photo, who I worked for waaaay back in the late 60 and could this have been the 1965-67 Albany contest?
Hey grunts...look at that fancy silk covered formers on the fuselage...styln n' profilin for those appearence points:)
Taken on a bike trip in Idaho. This one is for you Shultzie and is a slide I scanned from a color negative.very nice , Leo!what make scanner is that?
Wow....Thats pretty nice Don. I notice the squareness of it. is that 2 1/4 X 2 1/4?
Those were the days....I started working for Sandy's Camera shop during my Portland State and Pacific University years, no salary----straight 7% commission only. Actually Jack Sanderson and Jonesy at Jones photo virtually adopted me after I brought in some reeeeally big commercial photofinishing accounts.
Amazing how lives cross---and interests etc. WOW! Mel...That was soooooo long ago???
Speaking of camera shots n' shops...
This photo gave me a trip to NY or a $1000.00 from Hasselblad. I needed the money. I bought a new pair of White Star skis and a weekend at Mt. Hood Oregon, with my new gal friend.
Thats pretty nice Don. I notice the squareness of it. is that 2 1/4 X 2 1/4?Don-heres Colorado a few months ago...This was just a snapshot.. the 4x5 negatives were incredible!!

The simmicron lenses I have are very sharp and I have a few good Nikon lenses an what is amazing is the aftermarket lenses they now make are terrific. I think this will be the last non plane photo I will post on this post or Bob will kick me off of here. This was taken with a 24 to 135 Sigma zoom lens on my Nikon D 100. This was taken in the wilds of the Portland zoo.Nice Leo!Pretty kitty!
As You and I know It's not what you got it's how you use it. I got too much stuff!~^ ~^...
