  2. 20:32 That photo of President and Mrs. Carter is interesting. On the far right, the older man standing and looking straight at the camera is Admiral Hyman Rickover, the "Father of the Nuclear Navy", basically responsible for all US Navy nuclear power. He personally met and vetted every nuclear power officer in the Navy during his career, including the man standing to his right, Jimmy Carter, who was a Navy nuclear engineer back in the day. Apparently Mr. Carter was deemed satisfactory by Adm. Rickover and therefore permitted to serve as a nuclear officer in Rickover's beloved Navy.

  3. 1:12 that photo of Tesla sitting casually with his notebook underneath his lightning bolts is one of the most badass mad scientist photos ever.

  7. Maybe your next video could be an ad for a brand of new Jeep tires, since yours look as bald as Yule Brenner.

  8. I started shooting film just as digital was taking over, so for me film has never gone away. Kodak went bankrupt but they still make Kodak film and chemicals (but no paper). If you're into chemical photography you know where on line to look for film and stuff; Freestyle, B&H, Adorama, etc. Lots of small companies making film and paper, many in former East Block nations. Ilford is a big company. Fujifilm still makes film, too, and until recently they still made a top notch medium format camera. It's a shame you didn't really go into how the chemistry works and you also missed out on the reason a lot of us use film: printing your own photos in a darkroom on light sensitive paper! To me that's half the artistry, especially in black and white where you can do all kinds of crazy things.
