Vintage Photos - Oestreicher (1617-1620)

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/

None of these slides are labeled or dated but I think they are all from the early 1980s. The first three appear to be shots of the inside of a, probably new, warehouse. The final shot shows the exterior of a, again probably new, building. There are quite a few photos like this of apparently new buildings in this lot of slides. I don't know if the photographer is involved in real estate or construction or if he was paid to photograph these sites or what...










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.
