Aww c'mon. It was somewhere around 1987 and Kodachrome, (I think). They
were installing pipeline under the highway with an auger - all 3 photos.
Shot with a Minolta X-700 and Vivitar Ser 1 28-90 zoom (I think). Back in
the days when I could climb down the ladder and do all those cool things 200
lbs and 20+ years ago. At the time, I hadn't been into photography all
that long.

Anybody heard from him in a while. I haven't seen a good political discussion (argument) in months.

I wasn't really wanting to start an other off topic war.

I realized that I had not heard from him in quite a while.

Attitude can keep him alive, and he still has it.

While I hope for comments, good or bad, i like to share my thoughts with
others. i learn a lot from simply viewing. Comments are a plus, and the
comment lets me know that at least someone is interested enough to look.
Keep participating.

Purely for the advancement of photography, of course?
