Los Angeles Indiana 14




 

It's time to finish up this collection., at least that is if I don't find another page from this album.  Have I mentioned how much I hate it when antique dealers cut up a photo album and sell pages individually?  Well, it needs to be said.  I know it's more profitable for a seller to cut up an album, but history, even anonymous family histories means something.  So, girls camping and because at least one picture on this page was processed in Lamar, Colorado, I'm assuming that these pictures were taken somewhere in the Rocky Mountains.  To see the whole collection, click on The Los Angles Indiana Collection in labels.

Los Angeles Indiana 11




 

Let's start with a bit of info on the whole collection.  Click on The Los Angeles Indiana Collection in labels to see everything posted so far, and there's still more to come.

Anyway, sometimes album pages can be quite informative.  The person who put the album together writes captions, or when it's possible to remove a photo that's held in place with photo corners, there's something written on the back of the print.  That's not really true of this collection.  There's a printer's logo on the back of the top print, but it's so faded that it can't be read.  On the back of the middle print, there is a lab stamp, "Kodak Printing, J.H. Ward, Lamar, Colo."  I don't know whether this family was well traveled or if it's the album itself that's made it to so many places.

Los Angeles Indiana 9




   

Well, I've been away from The New Found Photography for a while.  I was out of town, and finances are a bit tight so I haven't really been increasing the size of the photo collection, and what can I say, out of sight, out of mind. 

So, if nothing else, a return to the The Los Angles Indiana Collection, and by clicking on that, the whole lot can be brought up for viewing.  Anyway, I called it that because on the first page I purchased from this album, there were prints with a Los Angeles-themed decorative border, and I purchased them from an eBay seller in Indiana.  I had made the decision not to remove photos from album pages until it was time to scan individual photos.  Perhaps I shouldn't have waited since two of these photos have information on the back, and one includes a new location.  So, on the back of the top photo in the column, "Me & Aunt Lou."  And on the back of the middle photo, a processor's stamp, "Kodak Finishing J.H. Ward, Lamar, Colo."
