I made some impulse buys after getting a new scanner and picked up a huge batch of slides a while back. These pictures span from as early as the late 1940s to as late as the early 1990s. These were from Goodwill and eBay (sometimes via estate sales). There are many thousands of these slides. I will be scanning some from time to time and posting them here for posterity.
This set continues a batch of slides that I bought on eBay a while back. I don't have as much to go on as to the ultimate origin of these compared to the previous batch I was working on. They came to me from eBay and most likely were picked up at an estate sale by the seller. Most of them seem to be taken in the 1960s and same individuals are included in many of the photos. It looks like there are some that were taken in Miami and some that were taken in New Jersey and perhaps elsewhere. I get the impression that Miami was a vacation spot for this family.
The first photo was processed in September 1966 and shows a middle-aged couple on the beach. This was almost certainly Miami Beach.
The second photo is undated. Based on the decor (for instance, you can see a basket of colored eggs in the center of the table), this must have been an Easter dinner and would have been some time in the mid to late 1960s.
The third photo was processed in August 1966 and is another (Miami) beach photo. You can see a pier in the background. This apparently would be the area formerly referred to as "motel row" along Collins Avenue. I think most, if not all, of the Miama Beach photos that have shown up in this batch have been from this area.
The last photo was processed in June 1965. It looks like itw as taken in someon's back yard but I'm not sure if it was the house of the couple frequently featured in these photos or some other house.
