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." 

Mary and Her Wagon

 

There's a lot written on the back of this print. "Taken April 10-1930. Mary 7 years old May 23, 1930."  And then a couple of lines, only part of which I can make out. "Nichols on" and then I just can't read it. I suspect it's a location, but who knows. 

Palm Springs

 

Written on the back, "Palm Springs 1946."  The man looks like he's about the right age to have been a World War 2 veteran, and Palm Springs would have been a nice place for a romantic reunion after being released from service.   Before blowing up the print, I actually thought he was wearing a military uniform, but now I don't think so. 

On The Wagon

Literally, on the wagon. 

Beware

Demented little girl stopped before she can kill her little brother. 

Views of the World, Palmetto Avenue, Los Angeles

I went through the junk in the hall closet and dug out my 2002 Thomas Brothers Guide,  (If you're not from my part of the world, you won't get the reference.)  and looked for Palmetto Avenue, L.A.  I found a Palmetto Ave. in Covina, a Palmetto Place in Pasadena, and a Palmetto Street in Los Angeles.  The one in L.A. is between the L.A. River and downtown. An area better known for warehouses, small factories, and scrap yards.  Things do change.
