Vintage Photos - Oestreicher (1441-1444)

in #photography2 years ago

See the previous post in this series here.

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 large batch of slides that originally came from an estate sale and appear to have belonged to a locally well known photographer from the Spokane Washington area named Leo Oestreicher, or perhaps a friend or family member of his. These slides contain some landscape and portrait photos but also a lot of typical snapshot photos. Here's an article on him from 1997 which is the only info I have found on him: http://www.spokesman.com/stories/1997/jan/04/photos-of-a-lifetime-museum-acquisition-of-leo/

Many of these slides had the date they were processed stamped or printed on them. In most cases these photos were probably taken relatively near the processing date.

The first slide was processed in May 1963. There are some buildings and mountains in the background but I can't really make a guess as to where this was taken beyond somewhere in the Western part of the country with mountains.

The next two were processed in January 1963 and look like they may have been taken at the same place. It looks like they were taken on a river or bay leading to the ocean.

The last photo was processed in April 1963 and shows a dog in a cemetery...maybe looking for a bone?
