Rare Photo!!!!
My slide and negative scanner showed up yesterday...I have a plan. However, whilst looking for certain negatives, I came across a packet of pictures of my old FM office!
I thought you might enjoy seeing it.
You'll note the Checker prototype on my desk and the photo pack. There were usually 300-400 detailed shots of any image. The large format BW prints were enlarged so the image was the same size as the prototype. This is how I checked every model I was assigned...as did Roger and Raffi. John McBride had a few programs, as well.
As I look back at this pic, I am warmly reminded of all the fun and friendships from that time.
The Woodward Ave print hangs in my home office. I am very fond of it!
