I Was 27 At The Time Of The Crime

Another "Don't do what I do." Ever. Except sometimes.

As you know I have been culling my negatives from a fifty-plus years career as a shooter. And… I have no idea why I did this. It was…

February 19, 1978. On staff at The Denver Post (even though the current editor there told me in an email that I have never been in a newsroom) and I have no idea why I did this to these negatives. I shot the Nuggets vs Celtics game and for some ungodly reason I wound-up six processed rolls from the game and stored them in a tin can. It wasn’t rusted then but it is now. I blame it on age. I was only 27 at the time of the crime.

So… here is a foto of some of the negatives in the can and a scan from one action shot from way the way back.

I need a DeLorean…
