Historic Normandy: D-Day 80 Years Later Through a Vintage Lens

Join me on an unforgettable journey back in time as we commemorate the 80th anniversary of D-Day. In this special video, we travel to Normandy in three GMC trucks, as part of our tour across the Normandy coast line I get out my trusty Speed Graphic and share the highs as well as the lows of using film.
I explore the historic beaches of Normandy using a vintage Speed Graphic camera from 1946, capturing the essence of a pivotal moment in history through the same type of lens used during the era.
📸 In this video, you will see:
A re-enactment of the 3rd Auxiliary Surgical Unit in 1944, honouring the brave medics who provided crucial care on the front lines.
Stunning black-and-white photographs taken with the Speed Graphic camera, providing a nostalgic glimpse into the past as well as other shenanigans.
