Dayton Flyers Basketball
I had a great opportunity back in the mid-1980’s to shoot some sports photography.
This was all film based, and rather expensive for a college student.
I shot mostly in color, using my Canon AE-1, with an autowinder. I’m working on
scanning the old 35mm film and slides, this will take some time, and will post
to this gallery as I get them done.
