Searching the Portobello Road - 1967
More of my old Kodachrome Super8 footage from 1967. On the hunt for wooden typefaces for my ancient letter-press printer back home in New Zealand I'd heard that somewhere down the Portobello Road I'd be sure to find some ... so sister Jenny and friend Rachel volunteered to search while I filmed the Portbello Road Saturday crowd. It was a successful operation - more display fonts to send back home!

The Seventh National Jazz & Blues Festival 1967
Просмотров 1852 месяца назад
1967, and I was really missing my Victor 16mm movie camera for all these London discoveries - but in this case Super8 Kodachrome just had to do. This footage of the Jazz & Blues Festival at Windsor's Balloon Fields was really to give the family back home in New Zealand an idea of what I was discovering on the other side of the world. Reading my old letters home again today it seems as though I ...
Trooping the Colour - Rehearsal - 1967
Просмотров 1,3 тыс.2 месяца назад
My first summer in London - 1967: armed with my Super-8 movie camera and 100 feet of virgin Kodachrome film I made the most of our invitation to be the guests of Scottish Laird Malcolm Douglas using his Official Household Guard Officers' seats. Malcolm, ex-Guards Officer, actor and falconer, was in London filming The Charge of the Light Brigade - but his Battalion was receiving the Colours that...
Canterbury University - 1956 Residential College Rowing Contest
Просмотров 395 месяцев назад
My first year at Canterbury University College - before I was roped in to row for College House, and was still 'at large' with my 16mm Victor camera. My High School rowing background meant it wasn't long before I was spending regular 5:30am mornings down at Kerr's Reach training with the College House rowing four. So no 16mm records in 1957 & 1958! Nostalgia writ large as I see these battling c...
Gisborne A & P Show 1954
Просмотров 2339 месяцев назад
More nostalgia from my old movies, taken nearly 70 years ago. Here's a few shots from my collection of 9.5mm footage, taken with the first movie camera that I bought back in the 1950's. Sly's Piano Shop, in Auckland's Queen Street, strangely enough sold 9.5mm Pathescope cameras, the famous Pathescope Ace projector, and camera-ready cassettes of black & white film. Because of the frame size - al...
A Weekend in Belgium
Просмотров 7110 месяцев назад
The easiest way for New Zealanders to renew their Visas back in the 1960's was to leave the U.K. and get their passports stamped when they returned. It saved hours of queuing down at the Croydon Immigration Centre - and was usually fairly entertaining one way or another ... Here's Kodachrome Super-8 footage of my final renewal in 1969 - successful again, luckily - but only for another six month...
A Weekend in Amsterdam
Просмотров 2810 месяцев назад
In the European Winter of 1969 my sister Jenny and I visited Amsterdam. I was still filming in Super-8 Kodachrome at that stage, so quality again leaves something to be desired, especially after my earlier 16mm work. Always surprised when reviewing footage like this: the colour rendering of Kodachome has remained stable over the years, despite varying storage conditions. Things seemed much more...

A Weekend in Worcestershire
Просмотров 3611 месяцев назад
In July 1967 my sister Jenny and I visited business friends of our father: Dad looked after their sheep station in New Zealand, so it was sort of an obligatory visit - nevertheless we really enjoyed our time with them in Worcestershire. A filmed some of the visit to show our parents, but once more it's only Super8 Kodachrome so there's a distinct lack of definition, although the Kodachrome has ...
Stonehenge 1967
Просмотров 103Год назад
A very brief glimpse of Stonehenge and Salisbury when Jenny and I were staying with cousins who owned a remarkable old priory near Enford in Wiltshire. Stonehenge was close by, so when tradition dictated that during the afternoon we were "left to our own devices", off we went to explore in our little white rental Anglia. It's Super8 Kodachrome with all the expected deficiencies!
Tarawera Easter Holiday 1955
Просмотров 33Год назад
More 16mm Kodachrome footage found nearly 70 years later. Again, it really surprises that the colour quality remains superb. What a process, and what a tragedy that it seems to have disappeared below the waves. This footage is made up of random shots tied together with memories of that Easter holiday we had before I left for University in Christchurch. Family recollections may vary, but there i...
Winter Sunday at Graham Road 1957
Просмотров 58Год назад
Some more 'found' 16mm footage which I took during my winter holiday from Canterbury University in 1957. In Kodachrome colour this time, so I must have been feeling flush. All family stuff as they were willing subjects. Fascinating how well the colour has lasted in 66 years - not fading, and as crisp and sharp as it was when it came back from the labs - and the soundtrack? From my very first- e...
Boxing Day 1957 at Graham Road
Просмотров 57Год назад
Boxing Day 1957, and the traditional family gathering on the front lawn at 19 Graham Road. The trusty old 16mm Victor, back with me from University, performed well most of the time - but exposure was sometimes a problem, as you can see from the footage of the sisters on horseback across the road. Good to see Mum's father and Auntie Vee, and also the shots of the Gambrill's when we were all stil...
Ad Hoc Vietnam Protest March - London 1968
Просмотров 67Год назад
Super8 Kodachrome this time: regrettably, because some of this footage is probably of historic interest. What started out as a fairly peaceful protest march, as you can see, developed into a clash between opposing groups. We beat a hasty retreat. Up Park Lane and over at the American Embassy in Grosvenor Square it turned really nasty!

    I worked as a young man in Securicor Ltd on Chelsea embankment in the late 60's. I frequented The Birds Nest in Kings Road, but it no longer exists. I also found out recently that the lovely building used to be ths place used to house a Jazz club in the same building (The Swallow something-or other) down in the basement level. I had no idea that my good ol' uncle, Bruce Turner, may have been playing downstairs when I would have been boogie-ing upstairs. 😅 Ah, memories.
