Collectomundo: Kodachrome Slides And Prints (1940s - 1960s)


Here we have an assorted collection of 35 MM Kodachrome
slides that I scanned. The originals are archived in plastic 
slide sheets. Many of these slides were given to me by my 
friend Kelly. I added some others that I purchased somewhere
 along the way. The images date from the mid-1950s to the late 
1960s. All people depicted in these images are anonymous to me 
however I would like to send them all good wishes across space 
and time. Thanks for your contribution to the archives, Kelly! 













































































































































Simpler times... They all had each other.
We should all be so lucky in any decade or century. 



Two eBay purchases: 1940s men on film.


A beautiful square vernacular print from the 1960s
that was a surprise gift from my friend Noreen. 
What is it about midcentury basement rec rooms?
They're just SO much fun in terms of their informality. 



Happy Birthday to this guy (1968)



Another duet of kitchen images (also from 1968).
I love the range top oven and the design of the cereal boxes.




This guy was VERY popular with the ladies.
The three prints appear to have been taken 
during the same evening and are dated 1962.




Three 1960s Christmas living room shots.
The third was a free gift from a very nice eBay seller. 


And one more... Here's a 1969 Christmastime photo
which appears to show a festive gathering in a stationery shop.
This was perhaps a small holiday party for store employees. 
Somehow I was given two prints of this image so one
 is in one of my archival albums and another is in a photo cube.
