Finding Joel Pahl Dardis

A blog about the work and legacy of a Stockton photographer

Majorettes and football, Box 67, 1948

There are two subjects in this box. What appears to be few images from majorette out of a parade we’ve seen before. This time there’s an name, I can make out Jo Ann Fonseca-Marquard (sic). There’s also a note “Lodi Parade”. The rest are images from a Loyola – Pacific football game at night in…

Joel Pahl Dardis, from 1921 to 1948

This blog post was only possible with the support of Liz Schuler, providing a number of childhood photos of Joel himself. I had a few, Liz provided the rest. And I’m almost sure more will come out of the woodwork. Joel was born June 6, 1921 and he graduates COP in 1948. It’s high time…

Seabright, Ansco Color Slides, 1946-1947

We’ve seen images of Werne Pahl and Bernice Adams, his wife, in B&W on the beach and in the water in 1946. These are two color equivalents for the earlier “Family, Pool, Box 17, 1946” blog post I had initially no clue where the below image was taken. Liz Schuler, Joel’s friend and neighbor for…

Various subjects Ansco Color Slides, 1947

In between all these different Ansco Color Slide boxes there were a few 1-2 slide series that didn’t belong with any other subject, but that were clearly taken in the same era. One of these didn’t make it into a cardboard frame. Another example of the last slide of the roll, cut off too short,…

Diebenkorn, Box 64, 1948

We’re setting a short step back to box #64 with June-July 1948 timestamp. When I scanned the image below, my jaw dropped and I held my breath when this image was revealed line by line on the screen. Richard Diebenkorn is a very recognizable, singular and distinguished American painter, draftsman, and printmaker who successfully explored both abstract…

Ceramics, Kodachromes, Nov 21, 1947

These 12 Kodachrome slides have subject material that is mostly identical to the 20 press format negatives we covered under the box #31 blogspot. This also puts a Nov 21, 1947 date on this slide photography. Of course, these slides are color and give us more depth on how the ceramics looked like. But it…

Stockton Parade, Ansco Color Slides, 1947

Just like with the other Ansco Color Slides, we have other B&W negatives to identify the date. In this case, the parade is most likely in 1947, but could be as early as 1946, basing the earlier year on the presence of Honor Guards, a strong indicator of post-WWII pride. I’ll discuss the intro image…

Santa Cruz, Ansco Color Slide, 1947-48

All these slides fall in the entertainment category. It’s clear they are taken in Santa Cruz, there are many recognizable landmarks, most of them no longer there. It’s hard to tell which year this is exactly, but we know from B&W images in dated boxes that Joel was in Santa Cruz a few times between…

More Circus, Ansco Color Slide, 1947

The next box I scanned had more circus subject and a few slides from a beach, Either Carmel or Santa Cruz, I still have to look for location clues. The circus slides below are all from the Clyde Beatty circus, photographed in first half May 1947 in Stockton. And in 1947, society looked differently at…

Drewry Photocolor Slides, 1947

Nineteen 35mm slides in a yellow/blue plastic box, prominently labeled “Drewry Photocolor on the 2” square cardboard frames. I had no reference for the photo processing house. So I did some online sleuthing to see if I could learn more, and was able to distill following blurb from the obituary for William Wallace Drewry Jr.…
