Scans from our Big Blue Album – one of many, many albums, not to mention boxes of loose pictures, some of which go back to the 1910s. Multiple copies in this gallery are due to posting the original scan and then one or more attempts at color correction.
Teresa was nice enough to do the scanning and the initial color corrected versions.

This is me working for Richard J. Soltys Productions, wearing the company jacket. I believe this was one of the two years I worked with him on the official parade film for the Tournament of Roses. One year I edited the 45 minute film. We had a big premier in that big civic auditorium out there. The film was supposed to be a straight documentary of the parade, but that year Honda had a working roller coaster on a float. It actually did a full circular vertical loop! It got the biggest response of the whole parade, but in editing, I had it from three angles, so I cut them together so it looked like the car ran around the loop three times in a row before moving down the track. Unconventional for a conservative organization’s documentary, but Dick Soltys loved it when I showed it to him and he decided to leave it in. You should have heard the audience of several thousand cheer when that scene played. One of the highlights of my career.
