STORM TRACK: March 31, 1979 (Volume 2 Issue 3)

When you catch the "big one," take redundant pictures. Too often in the past, I have been "penny wise and pound foolish". And taken only one picture, saving my roll for something good later. Don't! If a publisher becomes interested in your pictures later on, he'll want only the original. If you send any slides away for professional printing-enlarging, the best print will come from the original. Therefore, take at, least two or three pictures of the "big one" -at the same instant. Then you have a backup for whatever use is made of it -and still have one left over for safe-keeping.

P.S. For those who have the price ($49.95/3-23-78), the 16mm sound tornado-spotters movie introduced at the Omaha conference in 1977 can be ordered from Capitol Film Laboratories Inc., 343 West 54th St., NY, NY 10019. Their Production Title is "Tornado" and the Item Code is #38001. I highly recommend it, even if you have to rent a projector (like I do 2-3 times a year) to enjoy it.
