Thanks Mark for that information - nice to know.
Mark, that is nice - and so different from Chet Baker's classic version. Viva le jazz!
burkphoto, thank you for that comprehensive pdf.
This is great - yes, please post more!
Thank you FL Streetrodder.
Thanks everyone for your kind replies. We loved Japan also. Newly married, I didn't have a high enough rank to qualify for gov't quarters, so my wife & I lived "on the economy" as it was called then. Japan was very inexpensive in 1960: 360 yen/$. You could ride the trains for practically nothing. We visited Atsugi, Yokosuka and of course the giant BX at Tachikawa. Oddly, Japan was where I discovered Jazz. There were some terrific, hip jazz clubs in Yokohama.
I'm archiving photos for both sides of my family - so far, I've scanned and processed about 500 negatives, 35mm slides, stereo slides and photos. Here are two that I took in 1960 using a small Canon that I bought from a friend for $25. These are not good photos, but I thought there might be some folks here who were in or near Camp Zama around that time and would enjoy seeing them. (These were colorized in PS).
This is based on R.G.'s excellent cleaned-up version. It's just a little colorization from PS neural filters - didn't spend much time on it. Sometimes a little color can make these old photos a little more interesting to look at - or not. It's subjective, of course.
I realize this isn't everyone's cup of tea, but I'm working on a family history project, digitizing over a hundred photos for the 'cloud'. I don't have much time to spend on any one photo and some of them are over 100 years old, and in poor condition. Photoshop to the rescue. The neural filters, in my opinion, are amazing and very easy to use. Here's an example (along with replace sky), that didn't take very long to do, and I think, brings the photo to life. The original is about 2" x 3". It's a photo of my grandfather's milk delivery wagon in Larned, kansas early 1900's.
Chuckla, thanks for taking the time to do that - really appreciate it. Now that I know what to look for, it appears to be a 1914 Studebaker.
Hi, I'm working on a family history project and am wondering if anyone can i.d. this car? I'm guessing the age is somewhere between 1910 - 1920.
Well, this has been an interesting mix of responses. A full frame is something I'd like to have but can't justify, especially since I don't get around very much any more - so, more practice and some remedial training.
KTJohnson, I enjoyed your photos and especially liked the swing. Nice work!
OK, thanks...must be the user!
