I finally finished up one of the first videos I ever shot with the 2 piece RCA VCR and camera I bought in 1983. It was quite cumbersome by today’s standards and the battery life was quite short. My good friend Chris “Theo” Theodore led the interviews with some of Philly’s most colorful characters. The Sixers had just won the NBA Championship and Old City was in quite a Brotherly Love kind of mood.
Keep an eye out around the 2:40 mark for a ghost town of 300 block of Market St, years before any type of revival had started. Enjoy!

Wow. What a great time capsule. Awesome video!
Awesome time capsule vid! Well done, sir.
Theo hasn’t gained a single pound in over 25 years. It’s either lipo, or yoga that’s doing it.
Spectacular.
Outstanding!
What a cast!
And a brilliant time capsule.
Did you shoot a lot of stuff with your 2 piece RCA?
Absolute gem! A great document full of beautiful moments. Thank you Jimmy!
Fantastic! I can’t believe how good that tape still looks.
Thanks everyone for taking time to comment.I shot alot of material from 1983 till about 1989. I’m guessing marriage, divorce, career change and the batteries failing on the equipment lead to fade out. Most of the tapes are still great quality and I’m slowly digitalizing them when I have the time. I’ll probably post another half dozen the next year.
