magenta positives

Earlier this month I spent an afternoon as a docent for the Los Angeles Historic Theatre Foundation's "All About the Wiltern Theatre" tour. It was a fantastic event that I am proud to have been a part of. Both before and after the tour I had time to photograph some old haunts as well as some new discoveries. 

It turns out that the slide film I was shooting that day hadn't aged gracefully. Here are some of my favorite photographs from the day's roll, in all of their magenta glory.

A few months ago I shared some slides that I had found in a broken projector I had purchased at a local estate sale. Here are a few more images from that collection.

"Dogwood, Ozarks, MO". Slide stamped May 1965.

"Arizona". Slide stamped April 1966.

"View of Palm Springs from top of tramway." Slide dated July 1963.

"Holly Sugar, Hereford, TX". Slide dated May 1967.
 I looked into the history of this plant and found out that it was in operation from 1964-1998.

Slide stamped May 1966.

"Zaloudek J.I. Case Dealer, Kremlin, OK". Slide not dated.
The F.W. Zaloudek Machinery Company is still in business in Kremlin.

"Old railroad station in Vaughn, NM". Slide dated May 1966.

"Queen Creek Tunnel, Superior, AZ". Slide undated.
