| At random: There are more airplanes at the bottom of the ocean than there are submarines in the sky; therefore I chose submarines over aviation. |

| Subject: Favorite Pictures (NSR) The Nikon "Small World" thread a couple of threads down got me to thinking. We all have some favorite pics that, I "assume" we'd like to share (i.e., "show off"). Let's post some of them. Rather than just let the pics lie around in the `puter, let's all have a look. They don't necessarily have to be submarine pics. To start things off, I'll post my current favorite. It's a "head shot" of my grand daughter. She's 5 years old. I caught her as she turned her head. she didn't expect the camera. The next moment she realized the camera was there and lit up with a big smile. I *really* like the pic. She's a "knockout" if I do say so myself. :-)  | |||

Master and Commander Posts: 2253 Location: Foothills of the Ozarks | Subject: RE: Favorite Pictures (NSR) This one of my best memories of returning to port; we were headed into Charleston for some extra "ammo". The boat? Skipjack of course, my qual boat. I had forgotten all about it until computers, BBS, and scanners came in to being. Now it's on my computer and I still have the original taken with an old Kodak "point and click" camera.

| Subject: RE: Favorite Pictures (NSR) Scanners & digital are currently the best way to to keep/archive your current & old photos. Several of the photography magazines recommend either having your old photos scanned or scanning them yourself. The paper pics will deteriorate over time, even if kept in a scrapbook. The paper will interact with the plastic and the backing on the pages. I'm in the process of scanning all of my old prints. I have some that go back to when I was on the Boats. Once I've scanned them, I'll save them on CDs (the current technology). At some later date, they'll have to be moved to some other type of media, as CDs will eventually become obsolete. Here's another one I like. I'm a big fan of Black and white photography. You can do a lot an be creative with lighting, shadow and composition. Let's keep this thread going. Perhaps we can all exchange ideas and tips.  | |||

Perhaps we can all exchange ideas and tips. It has been mentioned on this board before, but a reminder wouldn't hurt. Even CD will crap out after a number of years....ask Beeghly about the failure rate. I have started copying the CDs I have burned every four years and I put the year it was reburned on the CD so I will know. Yeah, I know, with the terrabyte network drives available now, I should probably set up two of them, one a mirror. Could be cheaper in the long run......I guess I ought to run the numbers..... | |||

Senior Crew Posts: 157 Location: Clarinda, IA | Subject: RE: Scorpion photo Joe, I am pretty sure it was always assigned to COMSUBRON 6 and we had another 585 clss boat in the same squadron, but I'd have to do some looking to see which one. Maybe Doc Gardner can remember if it was his or not. I always felt the FBMS got first dabs on everything, but probably a nuc had some priority over a diesel on somethings. We did have some good movies. I had a friend at an FM Radio station over in Hampton and he made lots of tapes for us to play. Yeah we tied up to the Orion and they didn't like what we wore off the boat, how we walked, they seemed to think we should be saluting all kinds of things. We were always getting yelled at, so the Navy was nice and kept us out to see for 9 months in 66 just so we wouldn't get yelled at. LOL Viejo | ||

Viejo I think Joe is right that it was Shark; During my time on Skipjack we were always at Squadron 10 in New London; Skipjack did get transferred to Norfolk later in the 60's but I was in Viet Nam by then and then to the Roosevelt SSBN 600  | ||
