Ed Matsuishi's Photos (1):  LeMans -- 1963

From Ed: "I took these photos with a Canon 35mm with a 50mm f1.5 lens (I did not own a light meter so I just guessed).  I recently digitalized my slides (mostly Kodachrome 25 and Hi-Speed Kodachrome for the interior shots without a flash. I am surprised how well the color held up after 50 years."
 

(2-5-11)   From Scott Sperka:

"I just ran across the 5 pages of Ed Matsuishi's photos of the West Coast and European paddocks, pits, races and they are remarkable!  Also totally amazing is that they were taken while he was a mechanic for the Maseratis and a traveling friend of Phil Hill.  Please give Ed my sincerest gratitude for digitizing them, choosing to post them, and for sharing his very unique experiences with us all.  We have gotten a very rare and unique view into racing in a most wonderful era of each venue he has exposed to us.  Thank you, so much!"
