After photographing all these products for K.P.F. Electric, it is time for a Christmas meal.
August Julius Pahl is inviting and doing the honors. The year prior we’ve seen Christmas dinner at his place also (1947) with Jack Pahl and Genevieve Brooks and the children.
The rest of the images are all about unwrapping presents and some obligate couple shots from A.J and Laura.
There was one more misplaced negative in this box from the same timeframe. It’s a double exposure of the Christmas pageant that was shot probably a few days earlier.
Joel somehow printed this image, so the double exposure might not have been accidental at all, just an experiment and see if he got “lucky” to capture an interesting superposition. From my perspective, it’s a “not”.
There are plenty of more boxes to scan with press negatives. Can’t wait ! And as usual, it’s the good, bad and ugly.
Cheers !
