Manufactory

Apparently, my mom wanted to show people the building where she worked, which was Horton Manufacturing at the time.

I know it wasn't to document the car, because their blue 1961 Olds Starfire convertible wasn't in the greatest shape in this pic.

2x2 neg scanned with Epson V600.  I love the bigger negatives!

Rambunctiously

I had fun hanging out with a friend this evening.  In addition to talking and laughing, we had fun playing with her melting snowman.  I had no idea such things existed! 

She also gave me this lovely pig as a present, so of course, I had to put the two together.  It looks like Mr. Snowman could be participating in a pig rodeo.  I think, from the look on his face, he just realized that he should have been holding on.

Nippy

I was browsing through some old slides from my father-in-law and came across this one.  I guess we could call this the bold northwest, as it was taken in Seattle.  Apparently, this guy doesn't care that Jack Frost might be nipping.

My father-in-law thinks this was either a University of Washington Climbing Club event or a mission for the Seattle Mountain Rescue Group.  He was a member of the club and also knew the person who started the rescue group and went along on several rescues with them.

He thinks both of these guys were world-famous climbers, but he doesn't remember their names.  They were part of both groups too.

As taken by my father-in-law in March of 1964. 

Horsey

Take a look at those school buses, running on 2 hp each!  I wonder how many MPC (miles per carrot) those babies get.

I thought back then that every school kid had to walk uphill for miles, both ways, to get to school.

There were some really large tears in this photo.  It took a while to clean up in Photoshop.

Juvenility

Digging in the archives tonight.  My cousin and I, hanging out at grandma's house.  I guess I've always had a camera in my hand.

This was a scan of an old 110 negative.  Nasty film!  It took a lot of work to get it to look this good.
