Once a week I like to take a little bit of time out and look through some of the pictures that I have either taken, scanned or stolen off of the internet through the years and find one special picture that stands out. Little lost moments in time from yesterday caught with a Cameras lens and relived right here in my blog. Sometimes it's pretty easy to find that one special picture and sometimes it's not that easy, one thing it consistently is however is a whole lot of fun.
This weeks pic goes back about 20 or so years, back to a time when I worked at Helmick Corp. This picture was taken in the waning days of the plant operating its foundry when we had pretty much a skeleton crew. The three guys in the picture were Willie (our Core Maker), Rich who assisted me in Pouring Metal, and Randy who was our last remaining floor molder.
The picture was taken actually during lunch time when I had time to walk around and grab a few pictures with a disposable camera, nothing like today where we all have high quality iPhones at our disposal and can grab pictures pretty much on demand.
I wish we would have had digital cameras like that then, as I can assure you I would have taken thousands of pictures of molten metal and all the fun we had with it and trust me I still to this day have dreams of me being back in this time period and things going wrong. You had to think and act quickly under some pretty adverse conditions. I'm sure if there were videos of some of the things I did it would open a few eyes and go viral because we pushed the envelope.
Good times gone by.
Have a great day
