Nixon Resigns and Ford Inaugurated - August 1974

With Super 8mm film and some lucky "wild sound" lip synching....
...a homemade kinescope!...
It was a warm summer in 1974, and the shredded lettuce at Burger Chef tasted so sweet...like the sweet taste of shredded Watergate documents...the sound came a few months later when a magnetic stripe was added to the original super 8mm film and the whole thing recorded on the fly, complete with projector noise.  Back when you could still do six impossible things before breakfast...

Playing with Photoshop - 3D-ish flickerishness

Downtown Battle Creek, 19th century:

Brother Dave as Mr. DNA, ca 1978:

And, finally, Brother Dave at DisneyWorld, ca 1980 ... when potatoes were whipped only....




And go it soes....

Animated Gif Test - Schoolhouse backside

Taking some photos behind the schoolhouse, checking the drainage on a cleaned out access space, and the results just seemed to lend themselves to an animated gif.  Go figure!
