American Safari 1999 (Summer 1999)During the summer of 1999, an English writer, Joe Patch, and I, an American photographer, drove over 15,000 miles along with Louis Baker, Joes son and an Australian boxer. Together in a Jeep Wrangler, we traveled the country in search of people and places that would make our trip into what we had hoped, a safari into American culture. During these three months on the road, we met people from all walks of life and a vast number of cultures. We hope these images and words will express what we found, our diversity as a nation and the kindness and sense of community that was predominate. Our positive experience offers up the opposite to the negative picture of American society painted by our countries news media.
All images were captured using Kodak and Fuji color reversal film.
Our sincere thanks to all who helped us along the way. Your kindness and hospitality was most appreciated.

Sleestak PhotoShops Sleestaks are the slow hissing "monsters" from the Sid and Marty Croft kids television series from the 1970's, The Land of the Lost. The show was campy and low budget... The Sleestak is a misunderstood minority which encounters all the same problems as any minority as these Photoshopped images show.
This gallery also includes Gorn Photoshops. The Gorn is a lizard-like alien from the original Star Trek "Arena" episode which luckily was blown up by Captain Kirk after had made his bamboo cannon. The original McGuyver I guess... |

The Laphroaig Photo Project (ONGOING PROJECT)These are photos of one unopened bottle of Laphroaig 10 Year Old Single Islay Malt Scotch Whisky. The project will be on going and attempt to capture photographs of this particular bottle at historic events, famous places as well as tagging along with me during my daily routine. In addition, I will work to get this bottle photographed with well known, and not so well known, people such as celebrities, politicians, actors, police, firefighters, blue and white collar workers and photo manipulations...
The Project began March 18, 2006 and shall continue for quite some time. There are numerous influences that gave rise to this idea, but one project stands above the rest; "The Red Couch - A Portrait of America". In addition, a Bottle of Laphroaig is much easier to haul around than a couch and if for some reason I get tired of doing this, I can just stop where I am and open the bottle... End of project.
The Laphroaig Photo Project will continually evolve and re-define itself as photographs are taken and people and places influence the direction of the project.
DISCLAIMER: This project is not affiliated in any way whatsoever with the Laphroaig distillery. The individuals and businesses and in these and future images do not in any way infer an endorsement of any product. In addition, these images are not meant to imply any advocacy for or against the consumption of alcohol.
Please Drink Responsibly and if you're planning on not drinking responsibly, don't drive. It's a no brainer...
THIS IMAGE EVENT GALLERY IS A TEMPORARY HOME FOR THE LAPHROAIG PHOTO PROJECT. A DEDICATED DOMAIN IS CURRENTLY IN THE WORKS. THE URL WILL BE POSTED HERE WHEN UP AND RUNNING. |

Jarhead Time (May 1979 to May 1983)
(Scroll down below the 'About' section for 520 images)
Web addresses to this page:
www.americanjarhead.com
www.yarbz.com/jarheadtime
http://ImageEvent.com/yarbz/jarheadtime
About:
I added several hundred images November 4, 2011. Enjoy...
SECTIONS:
1- Camp Pendleton, CA (May 1979 - Dec 1980)
2- Okinawa, Japan (Dec 1980 - Dec 1981)
3- Camp LeJeune, NC (Dec 1981 - May 1983
4- Fort Pickett, VA ( Late 1982 give or take...)
The images on this site were taken while I served in the Marine Corps from 1979 to 1983. They are predominately from my three major duty stations: Camp Pendleton, CA; Camp Schwab, Okinawa; Camp LeJeune, NC. During that time I served as an 1833 (AmTrac Crewman), 0431 (Embarkation NCO) and also went to Jeep four-wheel drive school, PMI (Primary Marksmanship Instructor) school and served at Company Clerk for a time while at Courthouse Bay in Camp LeJeune.
I bought my first camera because I wanted to show my friends back home what I was doing and what life in the Marines was like. I began shooting subjects that were documentary in nature. Pictures of lockers, heads, daily activities etc. While I had no technical knowledge about photography such as composition, exposure, depth of field etc, I did manage to come up with some interesting images. Remember, while almost everyone has a little digital camera with them now in the early 1980's, cameras were not terribly common.
These early experiences lead me to pursue photography when I was discharged. I went to Eastern Connecticut State University for two years where I enrolled in every possible photography course and even taught an internship in black and white photography. In 1985, I transferred to Syracuse University where I majored in Photojournalism and the Newhouse School before switching to the College of Visual and Performing Arts. I earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Photography in 1988.
I've worked as a photojournalist for eight years as both a newspaper staffer and freelancer. Some of my employers and clients included the Boston Herald, Boston Globe, Quincy Patriot Ledger, New Britain Herald and the Associated Press.
All these years I have kept the original negatives from my Marine Corps days and have now scanned them in my new Nikon Super Coolscan 5000ED at full resolution. I want to share them with anyone who has an interest in those days. There are many photographs of people I no longer know. There are friends with whom I have lost touch. It is my hope that these images will rekindle personal memories as well as lead to reestablishing friendships that are long lost. When looking at the photographs, if you see yourself or someone you know, let me know. Also, pass the link to this site to anyone you think might enjoy these images. -Semper Fi.
Equipment Used:
My camera was a used Canon AT-1, the fully manual version of the famed AE-1. I bought it used from a Marine in "C" company, 3rd AABN, Del Mar. The AT-1 was simple to use and came with a standard 50/f1.8. I bought a generic telephoto zoom lens which was very cheap. I didn't yet understand about glass quality... I also used some cheap generic flash. I used to put all my equipment in a gas mask carrying case instead of a camera bag. This way, nobody bothered me about having my equipment... It was nice and stealthy. I did get asked several times why I always carried a gas mask. Was I afraid of getting gassed? Hehehehehe...

You are free to save and print these images for personal use and enjoyment. You may make no profit from these images and may not repost anywhere online without permission (which will likely be given if asked for...) If you would like a high resolution file for printing shoot me an email!

8MM Stills (1950s to 1970s)Video stills from 8mm movies that my dad, mom and even us kids took.
The default file size is 1024x768 but you can choose 800x600 or Original when perusing.
Here are links to the edited films:
REEL 5: https://youtu.be/Oc9LDi7D-JM
REEL 4: https://youtu.be/W8xr3329o_g
REEL 3: https://youtu.be/1_h0O8QfNiA
REEL 2: https://youtu.be/aWQLaLUZ3h8
REEL 1: https://youtu.be/E1r9l89BGMQ
Beginning approximately 1958 and going through the late 1970's. The videos were digitized frame by frame to 1080 (with letterbox on the sides) and these stills have been cropped and adjusted. Some of these are hard to believe they came from 8mm. The frame size is so small it's difficult to image that there is any detail at all.
The conversions were done by Legacy Digital Productions: http://legacydigital.net. I highly recommend them.
I am currently editing for each of the seven 8mm film reels that were digitized in Adobe Premiere. This includes removing some unwatchable sections or even individual frames, adding image adjustments, speed and stabilization adjustments, transitions and miscellaneous information about the scenes. Here are the links for the completed reels. (Only reel 1 is complete right now and I'll add links as they are completed.)

Colonel Barkley B Yarborough .
Very sad news... My dad, Barkley B. Yarborough, "Colonel BB" to many, a Colonel in the United States Marine Corps passed away recently.
These are select images from his Marine Corps days which began in 1943.
Dad began life in Texas on May 18, 1925 and left us after a hell of a run on July 14, 2015. We all miss him and he was admired and respected by all who meet him.
I've put in captions as best I could. If you notice something is obviously incorrect, please leave a comment... You can leave comments on any photo once you click on it and are encouraged to do so.
MISS YOU DAD!
