Author Topic: Post a crappy old picture of yourself! Sam Graham AKA: "The Evil Sam Graham". Wackiness ensues. Posts: 1431 From: Waukee, IA Registered: Dec 2004 posted 10-26-2006 09:01 AM                        Brad should put Mike's picture in the "Caption that Pic" thread. "Pedro. Check out my sweet popcorn machine."  |  IP: Logged Dieter Depypere Master Film Handler Posts: 343 From: Deutsch-Wagram, Lower Austria, Austria Registered: May 2005 posted 10-26-2006 12:04 PM                     Well, here we go. I was about 14 on that picture, participating at the "Physics-Olympics" at the grammar school. I won the first price (beginners). Ain't that crappy?  |  IP: Logged Stephen Furley Film God Posts: 3059 From: Coulsdon, Croydon, England Registered: May 2002 posted 10-26-2006 01:02 PM                     Crappy photograph coming up. Very few photographs were ever taken of me, and most that were have been lost over the years; this is about the best I can find. It was taken on Ilfocolor; not a film I could recommend, Ilford really should have stuck to black and white! The film was sold process paid, and returned in a box, with a contact strip on 35mm unperforated paper rolled up in one end of the box, and the negatives, cut up and mounted in cardboard slide mounts, in the other; I've never seen this done with any other film. No enlargements were included, I think colour prints were quite expensive in those days. The negatives have faded badly, though the contact strip is even worse, the shadows were magenta, and the highlights green, and however much I adjust the curves I can't get the grey scale to track properly, this is a lot better than it was. The same roll has some pictures of my sixth birthday party, the last party of any type that I ever attended. That would date this picture to about the same time, May 1963. That was the same year that I ran my first roll of film through a projector. The man with me is my father, born in 1912, so when this picture was taken he would have been just over a year older than I am now; I find the thought very depressing. We do look rather alike, don't we?  |  IP: Logged Greg Anderson Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 766 From: Ogden Valley, Utah Registered: Nov 1999 posted 10-27-2006 11:31 PM                        It's me... with a 70mm print of Return of the Jedi.  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 10-29-2006 01:39 AM                     Greg, is this at the old Wilshire 3plx on the south end of Ogden?  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 10-29-2006 03:59 AM                     Greg, What I want to know is if thats a toupe you have on or is it the real thing you once had.... This old Poloroid SX-70 picture of me was taken in 1977 when I worked at CANON USA. Thats a lens element removal tool stuck to my forehead... otherwise known as a suction bulb.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 10-29-2006 04:47 AM                        Why were you using Polaroid when you worked at Canon? Canon not good enough for ya?  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 10-29-2006 07:40 PM                  Joe, that's because Mark didn't have any good cameras available like a Minolta or Nikon. BTW Mark, I thought that suck-bulb looked like the mind-control-mini-microwave dish that ALL Cannon employees were required to wear 24/7 back then.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 10-29-2006 07:58 PM                     Joe, I didn't take the photo with the Poloroid... One of the Japaneese techs took it. So you'd have to ask him why he had a Poloroid. BTW, when I workled there one of the Japaneese Techs and I became pretty good friends and I helped him go around and buy up every German camera we could find. Canon paid to ship and the duty on everyything an employee on tour in the US could take back with him. And no they didn't drive Japaneese cars... they all bought American . Phil, I agree on the Nikon thing... ya can't beat em! Best 35mm glass there is.

The only time I wore a wig back then was when I played this character... Please take note of the official, promotional hat from the movie Take This Job and Shove It. On one particularly boring night off, I actually put on this outfit and went to the theatre where most of the staff didn't recognize me but those who did got a big kick out of it. Sorry, but that wasn't in Ogden. At the time I lived in Southern California. The 70mm print and I were working at UA-6 on Pacific Coast Highway in Long Beach. This is me when I thought I was in a band in the late 1990s...  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 10-30-2006 07:08 PM                     So did you work near some plutonium er something?
