Vintage Photos - Oestreicher (1593-1596)

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/

This is another set of photos that have no labels or dates but like most of the others, these are likely from the late 1950s or early 1960s. The first two look like they were taken at a rodeo somewhere. At least there is a bunch of people watching a bunch of other people ride around on horses. The third photo features a building up on stilts. It looks like something used for storage to me. There are palm trees and it is next to a body of water (hence the stilts) so I'm guessing this might be somewhere in Florida. The last photo looks like it was taken at an abandoned, overgrown cemetery (or maybe that is a more used part in the background). At least those look like grave markers to me among the weeds.










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.
