Melissa & George.. July 3rd/4th 2009

July 3rd/4th .. I have really become accustomed in celebrating the 4th, after all its my sister's birthday, and since I have been here from many years, the holiday is one to celebrate.

So when I was asked to videotape Melissa and George's wedding, no problem.. A special weekend, the day before, I was to interview them both along with parents, best man and maid of honor, so it meant an overnight.

July 4th finally gave us a beautiful day, slight breeze, outdoor ceremony and fun reception.

The entire even was held in Bayville, NY at the Crescent Beach

This clip is one that I put together that showed the couple just before the ceremony.

Enjoy everyone, much more to follow.. Thanks again

Farewell best friend.. Kodachrome


I grew up with Kodachrome. As a young lad living overseas, shooting color slide film was a treat. It was my dad's favourite film, and I remember him using it sparingly and then sending it off to Kodak, Hemel Hempstead, UK.

Two weeks would go by and then almost forgetting about it, it would arrive. That night we would set up the projector and watch the carousel clunk through 36 slides.

My first SLR camera, a Pentax Spotmatic, had semi automatic metering, you had to match needle for exposure.

Most of my meagre earnings would be gone on two rolls of Kodachrome, processing was prepaid, since you had to buy the mailer and likewise, I had to wait two weeks for results.

In later years, I still used Kodachrome, and I used to buy a " brick" of it at one time... 20 rolls.
On corporate assignments in New York, we would drop off the film at a local lab and pay rush for early morning delivery, from the Kodak Lab in Fairlawn, NJ. It was only later that a well known lab met the specs for processing Kodachrome in New York.

Now we are all in the digital mode but for many of us, Kodachrome was the slide film of choice.

Thanks for all the wonderful memories.
