I'm sure many of you may have in your possession or have seen some his excellent DVD's.
He's been posting some recently on his YouTube Channel.
This one of the NWP was posted today.

That needs to be fed through some sort of video stabilization tool.

Thanks for the link; some real gems in there.  I grew up near the trestle and tunnel seen at the 11:00 mark.  Our house was just on the other side of the tunnel, and my best friend's house was just to the left of the camera's position.  I used to walk through that tunnel to get to his house.  :)

His pronunciation of east coast locales cracks me up though.

BetLEEham.

I noticed this a few weeks back. Between this and Morning Sun selling off its slide collection on eBay, I am wondering if old school media is giving up.
Failing to prepare is preparing to fail.

I think he's doing it as advertising. Which is smart since that's how the world came to know Big Mike and John's DVDs.

I think it's important to separate the general health of the hobby and the resort of aging small businesses.

With Morning Sun the owner passed it to his kids and they have no desire to run a niche publishing company.

Luckily, as one door closes, another opens.

That Buffalo Creek book is very tempting.
