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 June 1968 and features an older gentleman apparently sleeping in a chair. He has what appears to be a cup of ice cream balanced on the top of his hand. I'm guessing someone put that there for the photo op.
The next two photos are undated but they would have also been taken in the mid to late 1960s. It's clearly some kind of celebration...birthday or anniversary maybe? There is a cake anyway. I would guess Easter because of the colors but I don't see any obvious Easter decorations.
The last photo is also undated and appears to be another (possibly holiday) get together. Not sure what they are eating but the lady in the blue shirt looking back over her shoulder appears to be holding part of a pickle. Maybe this was a 4th of July, Labor Day or Memorial Day celebration...
processed June 1968
