The Bug for David
12:00 am in Action, Digital, humor, Natural Lighting, New Jersey, Nikon D90, Nostalgic, People, Restoration, Travel by Dorothy Sheehan
My brother drove me on the Garden State Parkway to get this really neat shot of a powerplant on a harbor with boats. I didn’t get a great shot of that, but we did find this person driving a Volkswagen. I asked my brother if he thought this guy would mind if I took his picture. And my brother said, I don’t think he has time. With that, I shot it. And then he passed us. Didn’t think the shots were bad for doing a speed of 60 miles per hour. Enjoy, David. haha

The Nazz

This is an image of one of my Dad’s bands, The Nazz, as they played at Westchester Park Recreation Center in Los Angeles sometime between 1965-1967. My dad, Rich Morrison, is on the far right, singing and playing lead guitar. The guy on the left playing bass is Tom Beal. The drummer is John Melville, and I believe the guy in the middle center is Bob Wallin. Bob Wallin is actually writing a book about my Dad, and I think this image will be in that book. My Dad had asked me to retouch this image. The top is the image as I retouched it and the bottom image was the image as I received it. I’m not the best at retouching, but it does look better. Unfortunately, I do not know who took this photograph, but if anyone does, email me so I can give proper credit.

I love this and wanted to share….found about a 40 foot strip of film rolled tight in a half inch of water in the basement projector room of a burned school where i got some shuteye hitchhiking cross country in 1976. Recognized it as one of my favorite movies and dried and kept it. The roll has been sitting on a shelf on top of a bookend for about fifteen years, and last week I pulled and scanned this frame which includes the sound on the edge.

He looks to me like he’s thinking back on all the people he’s killed.

Not a perfect job, but not bad for a couple of hours on a Monday night. Rollover the image with your mouse to see the unrestored version.
