This is absolutely my favourite thread. Australia in the 70's was rad.Spedman posted:Crazy Uncle: My grandmother passed away a couple of years ago, and as part of the services my cousin put together nearly 200 pictures from her life and her close relatives. These aren't mine, per se, but I thought some sweet old-timey fashion choices would fit in around here. My grandmother, Reta, wearing Dazzle Camo for some reason.

unpacked robinhood posted:You need this printed and framed forever fyi I agree. Hopefully I'll be able to do that this fall when I'll have a chance to visit my cousin and get the original (probably print, little chance of a negative). 42ndtourist, YES! keep 'em coming. Expo 67 is such a huge deal still today in Montreal, I'd love to see some pics from the event.

Diggin' this shot especially  Sorry to hear about your dad, he certainly had some cool pictures. Also, you should definitely shoot that old SLR yourself.

Rev. Bleech_ posted:Hopefully the new boxes have some interesting stuff. The last box, 1992, had...churches. Fuckton of churches. "Hey. Pops." I say. "What's with all the churches?" "Some minister was collecting photos of every church in the county for a book or something, I dunno what. He paid $10 per picture, so yeah why the hell not." Make this into one of those composite images where the big image is made of thousands of little images. Obviously the big image should be either a naked woman's silhouette or Bob Marley, if my time spent walking around inside the mall has taught me anything.

xzzy posted:It reminds me of some of the photo collections the Library of Congress has online. They sent photographers all over the country to record the state of things and there's a lot of "documentary" shots like that. That's really cool, does anyone still do anything like that? Sounds like a sweet gig, for anyone not independently wealthy.

xzzy posted:He's definitely the free spirit of the group, always coming up with crazy get rich quick schemes. It's funnier to apply this to the guy on the far right in the background with the shovel. Losers stand around for photos! Husslers get where it's at! These crazy Korean rocks are gonna be worth a fortune back home!

I was staying at my sister's place in Toronto. I had appointments to visit professors at several universities in the area to discuss M.Sc. possibilities. My first one on that Tuesday was mid-afternoon so I slept in. She worked for a TV network at the time, and phoned me at her apartment and just told me to turn on the TV once I woke up and picked up. I asked her that same question: "What channel?" and she said "Doesn't matter". It didn't actually cancel any my meetings that week, and by the time I flew home a week later they'd opened the skies and cleared most of the backlog. I was interviewed in line at check-in by a CBC reporter (Adrienne Arsenault if you know who that is), she was going through the crowd with a cameraman asking people if they worried about flying. I said no, because security was very visible and very everywhere and very active, and it's not like airline security was suddenly invented on September 12, 2001 - I'd been going through metal detectors and saying "yes I packed my own bag" ever since I was old enough to talk so to me, it wasn't a big deal. Sorry for being a heartless northern foreigner, I guess.
