Re: Old photos
Fantastic pictures. Great color and focus. The one thing I notice when looking at all these old pictures is how damn fat Americans have gotten.

Re: Old photos
Well, back then there were no video games or things like that to tie people to sofas. I don't think there was a McDonalds within 100 miles of there either. People were just always doing things, active. I think there were only about 3 TV channels available in Keremeos at that time, just what you could pick up on an antenna.
My camera was a Pentax SP500, and I spent the money for a 200 mm lens which could have bought me a set of wheels at that time. I pretty much could go where I wanted with that camera. People looked at it and just thought, "Hello,.... photographer" "Let him go where he wants." I don't have any shots of my own cars at the strip though. If I was running, I left the camera at home. Less to worry about. |

Re: Old photos
Here's a 67 GTO that I believe this guy still owns. Check out that patterned vinyl top. I remember seeing a few cars with tops like that, but I'm guessing it was a dealer add-on, by a restyler.
