Darkness And Regret

You may THINK that you've seen some of these film clips in previous posts over the last 12 months on this blogger stage, but in most cases, you'd be horribly mistaken. What we have here is another episode of 'clean out the reject drawer' in which all the unused or redundant or uninteresting clips can finally get their public airing before having to live out the rest of their lives in the darkness and regret of the storage room. And since that's pretty much what we've been shooting for all along with this blog nonsense (darkness and regret) our trolley bus is totally on schedule and paying its own fare.

I plan to revisit a few of the captured moments seen on this video in more depth at a later time. For instance, the masterpiece I shot of George and Don driving their 'Great White Tongue' down to Kerrisdale Cameras in a long series of four frames per second, contains a treasure trove of single images that zip across the screen much too fast for the human eye to fully appreciate. A sample of that goldmine is included in the image of George that headlines this post. That jitterbug sequence, and others like it, is really no less than a photo album containing hundreds of vintage pictures of our little corner of Blazerville and the people that populated it back in the mid 70s.

Great shot of George!

He looks like a Rock Star running to his limo to escape the paparazzi.
