Flight Deck

I have no idea what this guy was doing on the flight deck of the USS Midway.

They were preparing for what looked like a pretty large event, but what this statue had to do with it is beyond me.

This image is another example of what I won't miss about Kodachrome: it's almost impossible to scan with good shadow detail in a high-contrast shot. Those shadows aren't completely black on the film – Kodachrome has pretty amazing dynamic range. Color negative film doesn't present this problem, as it compresses the range into something that's easier to work with.
