I just uploaded about 100 photos to the Gallery. Thanks Mike for getting it working again.

These are mostly crappy Instamatic photos but being a kid that was all I had access to back then.

I do remember that the picture of Clay Hough holding up the frog won some sort of award at the Winter banquet.

Can anyone help put names to faces? I had written names on the back of some of the photos but could use some help with many others.

You got some great photos there, Tom, especially considering the camera you had to work with!

I love this one:

That (flash "indoors" with regular daylight exposure outdoors) often doesn't work. Usually either the foreground is overexposed or the background is underexposed, even with many better cameras. You and the Instamatic got that one just right.

I believe the photographer shown in the canoe with a movie? camera pointing back at you in this shot
http://www.wyanoke.com/gallery/1970/SacoD1
is Tom Falcon. Are you in a camp Saco movie from that year?

I'll look at some of the other sets later.

Anyone kn ow where this is? I'm trying to remember where an old fireplace was - it's not Land's End. http://www.wyanoke.com/gallery/1970/BillCastelli2

This one: http://www.wyanoke.com/gallery/1970/ScanJ2 is Perry Neilson (or was that Neilsen?)

Just for info's sake, That's Abenaki Tower in the background. http://www.wyanoke.com/gallery/1971/BobVaughan_001

Where's this? http://www.wyanoke.com/gallery/1971/ScanE2 At first I thought it was Melansen's Beach, but that shelter's too elaborate, and I don't remember a sign on a tree there either.

That's Doug Wilkins on the left. I don't know who the other two guys are.

That's the best I can do at this point.

I wonder if this is a camp site on the Saco or maybe on one of the "Lakes" canoe trips.

This may also be on one of those trips. Not sure on either though.
