More Various, Box 80, 1942-1951
The rest of negative box 80 covers familiar and unfamiliar subjects, none of these subjects were photographed at the same time or even in the same year. First images I actually found in this box, was most likely not photographed by Joel, but by his father. This is not a press negative format but an…

Various, Box 80, 1946-1951
This negative box is a catch-all box. Joel wrote on the lid 1948-1951, but I found at least two San Francisco negatives from 1946. Sooo … here we go with the different subjects: “Turner School” is the first subject written on the lid. I have no reference to any school with that name in Stockton,…

The Brown House, Box 79, 1949
The remainder of box 79 negatives plays in “The Brown House”, a women’s clothing store on 1700 Pacific Avenue, per Stockton City Directory of 1949. Joel photographed the store display by night, and there are two young women he photographed in store outfits. In those days, quite a few stores had their own corner where…

Spoonemore Bis, Box 79, 1949
There’s a second photoshoot with Iris Mae Spoonemore tucked away in this box. Iris changes outfits and there’s some more defined make-up. She’s equally more at easy and manages a smile at times. She changed the locket to a strand of pearls. Joel, using different filmstock, starts out at the same Magnolias and then ventures…

Iris Mae Spoonemore, Box 79, 1949
It was hard to read the contents on this box with a total of 46 images, a new record ! Iris Spenemere is all that I could read. A quick search on the UOP digital library showed only one Iris in 1949, and some further genealogical research came up with the full name. Iris Mae…

COP Homecoming, Box 78, 1957
Although this box has an expiration date of Dec 1949, the contents are mostly related to the “Homecoming Parade” of College of Pacific on Saturday, October 19, 1957. We’re jumping 8 years ahead, and yes, there’s a difference in feel noticeable throughout the images. The world is changing. Tommy, the Pacific Tiger, is prominently featured…

Christmas, Box 77, Dec 1948
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…

K.P.F. Electric, Box 76, Dec 1948
K.P.F. Electric was a San Francisco company, founded in 1904, and August Julius Pahl was the managing president. There’s no longer much to find about the company, and I was always wondering what type of electrical engineering they were involved in. This box of negatives gives the answer I was looking for. K.P.F. Electric was…

Dr. Scott’s children, Box 75, 1949
This box of negatives has 24 sheets in it, and only covers one photoshoot. The children of Dr. Scott, possibly 1949. As usual, I did some genealogy and City of Stockton Registry research, and came up with Dr. Wirt Stanley Scott Jr., Physician and Surgeon, practicing at 2633 Pacific Avenue. Dr. Scott was born Jan…

A Christmas Pageant, Box 74, Dec 20 1948
The title on this box was self explanatory, the contents illustrative. Before we check out the “Christmas Pageant”, I’m showing two water polo images that were both published in the Naranjado 1949 College of Pacific Yearbook. The rest of the images all belong to the “Christmas Pageant” documentary photo shoot. Date is Dec 20, 1948,…
