And took spme incredible photos of dolphins surfing the bow wake of my ship (USS Barney DDG-6) As we entered the straights of Gibraltar ....rock of Gibraltar in foreground at “10:30” position and sunrise at “1:30” position....1987.

For some reason those pix were never returned to me when I sent all my 110 film in for development after returning from that Mediteranean deployment.

I once took a Kodachrome slide of the Mississippi River Bridge at Vicksburg. I was using a Kodak model 48 110 and just held it up and photographed it through the windshield.

I was amazed when I got the slides back that I could read the writing on a small sign on the bridge. Amazing for such a tiny slide.

I still have a Kodak Carousel slide projector for 110 slides. I haven’t been able to find Kodachrome in 110 for many years and now can’t find Kodachrome at all.

“I got a Nikon camera, I like to take photographs, Mama don’t take my Kodachrome away”.

“For some reason those pix were never returned to me when I sent all my 110 film in for development after returning from that Mediteranean deployment.”

I spent a bit of time on Okinawa in 1969. When I arrived, we were told that anyone taking pics of the SR-71s taking off from Kadena would not just not get the pics when turned in for developing but would also get a visit from AP’s (Air Police? I was Navy).

I didn’t take a pic but I did see an SR-71 take off - really spectacular! Ran down the runway about 1/2 mile, rotated and almost immediately broke the sound barrier. All you saw was two big red circles going quickly into the clouds. Awesome.
