Louis Trapani's Posterous

It's been awhile since I posted a #FlashbackFriday photo. Here I am being dwarfed by the huge fountains in Rome almost 36 years ago now.

This photo was posted to Instagram as for "Flashback Friday" (which as the name implies, is an opportunity to pull out a photo from the past to share). This photo was taken by my Mom using a 110 point & click film camera. It was post processed on the iPhone using the 100 Cameras in 1 by Trey Ratcliff which I was playing around with for this image. It looks a bit better on the smaller screen of the iPhone than here on the website.

I took this photo on the iPhone 4 using the camera app HDR Fusion from Cogitap Software (App Store link) and then applied the Lo-Fi filter in Instagram which I used to share the photo.

This is a statue of the iconic WWII image of American soldiers raising the flag at the War Memorial in Eisenhower Park.

Patrick Troughton, the 2nd Doctor on #DoctorWho would had been 91 today. I had the privilege of interviewing him in 1986, less than a year before we lost him.

The above photos were from two different occasions that I saw Patrick Troughton in the same year, March 1986 with the beard and later that year without the beard. The former were taken with my analog SLR, the fuzzy shots of me interviewing Troughton are stills taken off a video camera. I apologize, I don't recall the woman's name who was also interviewing him with me at that time.

My interview with him is available in an episode of Doctor Who: Podshock.
