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. 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. Despite the weird numbering change, this is part of the same batch of slides I have been scanning...not sure what I was trying to do with the numbering...
There aren't any dates on any of these slides but they would have all been taken sometime in the mid 1960s. They appear to have all been taken at the same place. It looks like the couple featured throughout most of this batch is visiting friends or probably family somewhere in Florida and these photos were taken outside their house. Likely somewhere near Miami based on other Florida photos in previous sets. The citrus trees and flip-flops give away the location to a certain extent.

The entire collection that has been scanned and uploaded so far can also be found here. This also includes higher resolution versions and versions with post processing.

So awesome to get to take a sneak peek into the lives of complete strangers and their day, not knowing some day, people on this weird thing called the Internet, would be viewing their photos too.
Would be amazing if some of these people were put in touch with their photos via Hive someday. That would simply be beyond words cool.
