OTHER PEOPLE'S MEMORIES (FILM)

""Mt Scenery Near Buffalo Bill's Grave 1959" "Steamboat Rock Garden of Gods 1959"

"Power Station N.Y.C. June 1965" "Lower Manhattan Broadway June 1965"

Here are a few more of the second set of slides. Again, none are labeled just stamped with dates, 1978 & 1979. These were all loaded in 2 carousals so they all seem to be of the event(s).

Finally got the old roll back from the lab, the roll of 620 that I found in the Brownie Hawkeye. It's at least 45 years old because it was discontinued in 1976. The chemicals used ( I think it said "C22") to develop don't exist anymore but the lab said it could be developed but they would be B&W even though it was color film.

Only got 3 images out of the roll. Looks like Christmas celebration with grandma getting her carton of Kools & the kids with their new big wheel.

And the 3rd.

These are awesome! You've inspired me to go out and try to shoot some of the NYC ones to compare,

I enjoy these old photos too. I love photography & I'm a history buff so I love looking & seeing old photos. Be sure to post the images if you happen get modern shots for comparison!

I printed out a few that I recognize along my commute and will start with those. I am thinking 80mm on Bronica SQ with 645 back on slide as a nod to the OP. Gonna location scout on the way home tonight.

My wife's sister brought some old photos for me to scan into my computer, here's a couple of her father in WWII. I don't know my airplanes as well as I should, but I think the first is a P-51. Is the other on a P-38?

Very cool, and good scans. Do you know a year or wherabouts?

My wife says he would never talk about his time in the war. I would guess these were taken in England, I don’t think the P51 was used much in the Pacific. Could be wrong about that though.

The P51 was used in both theaters. In the pacific it was used as an escort fighter and a ground attack plane. This one could very well be in the pacific as it looks to be set up to carry rockets on the outboard mounts and 2 bombs on the inboard. Since they weren't carrier based they would take off from airfields on islands like Iwo Jima.

Thanks, I just found out the plane in the second photo is a P-38. I was leaning that way, but wasn’t sure.
