On his 73rd birthday some two-plus years ago, Bill sent me a selfie, over which we shared a bit of a laugh due to its erroneous timestamp. Today, I looked at this photograph and decided to rework it to give it an old-time look in keeping with Bill’s penchant for vintage cameras and equipment. Herewith:

Found this item today, originally created in 1972:

The other day I unexpectedly came upon a few rolls of film worth of slides from an 1972 assignment to photograph a team of drag racers at Irwindale Raceway. Totally forgotten. Can’t remember where my partner published some of this stuff. Here a few of the images, mostly discolored and damaged from nearly 50 years of neglect:
Discovered this old pic of brother Dennis and his ’55 Chevy today, which I grabbed with the old Nikon F during an Iowa visit in 1972:
