George Lucas should have been made to watch flashbulbs going off until he wished he were being tortured by Lord Vader in person & not me! Because I would graduate to O. Winston Link's flash arrays faster than you could say 'Graflex'. | ||

My favorite story concerns the time he set off one of his elaborate flash arrays, using a kazillion bulbs, and then discovered that he'd forgotten to pull the dark slide! (IIRC, he used a Graphic View II.) | ||

He was photographing a steam locomotive under repair & he was going to use up his stock of bulbs. The mistake would be enough to make any man cuss strongly, but OWL only said "Oh Jesus" | ||
