[David Whatley]

Here is a photo of me from 33 years ago when I was running a studio in HEB. Damn, that was a good camera and strobe. I could use a haircut tho.

Holy cow David, is that a Koni-Omega press camera and a Honeywell strobe? Forget the haircut dude, I like the threads. Did we really look like that back then? I'm afraid to dig up any of mine that old.

Gotta love 70's fashion... :)

Hey Kid !!! I was 25 then...... back from 'Nam, and working for the FAA.

Great threads. Did you dig up this relic photo to show your "best friend" ???

Mine has a photo of me and I weighed about a ton less than I do now.

[Daniel Bates]

I was negative seventeen years old back then... and also weighed quite a bit less than I do now.

snazzy!!!

Gosh I loved that camera! Made a few bucks with it. I also needed a haircut back then!

[David Whatley]

Rick, I dont remember what the strobe was, but I bought a couple later that year that were larger and black. I cant rember the brand on those either, but it was one hell of a strobe.

Daniel, back then there was this thing called FILM that we used, and there wasnt anything that was "AUTOMATIC". You had a few seconds to gage distance, light drop off, set the apature, and fire.

Rick, you didnt happen to go to Trinity HS did you?

Tom, I would be happy to introduce you to my friend, she is a great girl, with a heart of gold. Problem is, I am still in love my Ex Wife. :(

I think I still have that tye around here somewhere.

Unfortunately, I don't know where it is now. It developed a light leak in the bellows, and thus was not in working order. I suspect it got thrown out at some point.

I miss it too.
