I should update the info on the card.

I've moved onward and upward since then.

But I'm not going to.

Not-so-mellow Yellows.

Can anyone tell us about Mel Hoy?  These first two belly tank photos have his name on the back...

Yes, I do own the original photos and negatives.  The 3x5 photo was scanned at 300dpi, but the photograph itself was the very heavyweight textured surface. A good clean scan wasn't possible, so I despeckled the textured noise out of the photo.  I'm sure I also have the negatives to all the photos, but there are about 2000 slides and the same amount of negatives to go through, so getting you a good copy will take some time...  PM me your e-mail and I'll get it out to you as soon as I can find the negatives. 

ps: All the credit goes to Alex Tremulis for having the foresight to capture some amazing images...

Grainy not grainy I dont care I like the image.
 Could use a few 8x10.. I usually surprise a few buddies with them.

  I can imagine the work to go through them or make prints.

 Will PM soon, am on here pretty well daily..

 One record no one can break... being first.. :-D

 I was the first one in Canada to get them green bordered Menzie prints.. another cool pic..

WOW! What a great shot, Freud!

 Brings back memories of the days of the quest for 300 on two wheels.
