(added

the videos that i promised you. i was first aboard
the kitty hawk, cva-63 in 3rd div as a bm, then
transferred to ops in the photography lab. that's
where my photography interest started. after some
shore duty at miramar i ended up on the uss zelima,
af-49. i got there with a 35mm camera. super 8 movie
film had been out for maybe a year or two. one day
while at the navy exchange at yokuska i picked up
this super 8 movie camera. what sold me on that
camera was the huge teleconverter that would screw
over the existing lens, so you could get insane
zooms. bigger is better huh? i enjoyed the technical
aspects of filming and partially because i grew up
watching victory at sea so i wanted to capture this
history for some unknown reason at the time.
