Vintage Photos - Goodwill Lot 1 (121-124)

I made some impulse buys after getting a new scanner and picked up several batches of slides a while back from Goodwill and eBay. These pictures span from as early as the late 1940s to as late as the early 1990s. There are many thousands of these slides. I will be scanning some from time to time and posting them here mainly because I find them an interesting way to look back at the past.

I don't know a whole lot about the ultimate origins of this batch of slides other than they came from Goodwill. Like previous batches, these too often have a date stamped on them that I assume indicates when the film was developed and I believe in most cases should give approximate dating for the photograph itself. So far these seem like mostly vacation photos that were taken in the 1960s and 1970s. I've identified places in Italy, France, Mexico, and Hawaii so far.

The first two photos in this set are both undated while the second two were both processed in July 1975. Based on that date and the dates on previous photos, these were likely taken in Hawaii. It looks like all four were likely taken in Hawaii.

The first two appear to have been taken from the window or balcony of a resort overlooking the beach.

The third photo looks to me like it was taken from a low flying aircraft that was flying along the coast.

The last photo shows what is probably a Luau, most likely at a Hawaiian resort somewhere. There have been photos in previous sets that are likely from the same event.

I honestly didn’t know this was a hobby, but now you’ve picked my interest. It sounds like a real journey to buy old pictures and then imagine what they are about, the context and location etc… pretty good post mate!

By the way, InLeo is giving away 100 InLeo Premium memberships!
