Photogifus Polyesterus


Check out the fellas. Have you ever seen a modder squad of hepcat photogs than this leisure suit set from mid-Seventies Scranton? I think not. Truly, I like EVERY-thing about this photo, from the retro film cameras to the garishly-striped News Pinto to the cocky look on that little Mr. Magoo dude second from the left. But this is just one shot from a treasure trove of dated newsgathering images on display at The WDAU-TV Review, a comprehensive sight lovingly assembled by one Carl Abraham. YOu don't have to be a flaming TV News geek like myself to enjoy this broadcast time-capsule, but it probably doesn't hurt. The hairstyles alone are worth the trip.
