Thank you!

Hey again!

I have just published a new collection:

These glass slides take us back to Finland in the 1940s. Architecture, landscapes, and portraits are depicted in monochrome images, preserving memories of the cultural and scenic diversity of a bygone era.

Wow, that's something else!
Whomever shot those was a pretty darn competent photographer alright. The compositions and subject matter suggest that this may be some kind of promotional series, intended to capture the spirit and color of the country.

Yes, it was definitely not a snapshot photographer.

I've lived in NYC most of my life so I was attracted to these in particular. Great job. I;ve been to most of these sites. One comment, The church labeled St Patricks is actually Trinity Church at 89 Broadway at the end of Wall Street, NYC.

Hi Alan,

Thanks for the info. I did some more research — it must be St. Paul's Chapel.

I've changed it.

Thanks,
André

Hello again!

I have just published a new collection:

This collection of medium-format glass slides from 1961 documents a trip from Munich via Mittenwald to Innsbruck and the surrounding area. In addition to street scenes and landscape shots, the photos feature portraits of neatly dressed travelers, mostly in front of local attractions, but also while swimming in Lake Lanser near Innsbruck. The series provides a vivid picture of the “Sommerfrische” (summer retreat) of the early 1960s.
