My Anniversery Speed has been doing a pretty constant ride along with me in my car lately. Tongiht I bring it into a bar with me. People like it, and are amazed that I put together the whole kit for as little as I did. Anyways, 2:30 closing time comes around and my friends and I have someone convinced that streaking main street would be a good idea.

Thus, my first adventure into fast moving action photography with a Speed Graphic happened as I'm trying to outrun a 25 year running down main street with no pants on. Only had 2 frames left in my Grafmatic, so only got two shots. But was fun none the less, run, shoot, advance, recock shutter, and run some more. I'll develop tomorrow.

You may have just added a completely new line in the list of things the Graflex has been used for.

Naughty bits have been censored out in those two photos, just to be safe.

They have an old Weegee feeling in them, but with probably a better stake on the name "Naked City" :wink:
