35mm Ansco Color Slides, 1947-1948
I found a few undated 35mm color slides tucked away between all the negative boxes and sleeves. I was at first skeptical about the contents, without any written data on them. Turns out that Joel packed the 35mm camera with him when he went out with the larger Graflex Press cameras. In this case, there…

Rhizomia Dance, Box 66, Feb 28, 1948
Another Rhizomia event, this time in a box that is clearly labeled from a time and subject perspective. Rhizomia parties are well known for pushing the edge, that’s why Joel probably didn’t miss a single Rhizomite event. There’s a Parisian motif throughout this time, lingerie, Moulin Rouge, Folie Bergère, and edgy portraits adore the (papered)…

Family etc, Box 64, June July 1948
This is another negative collection box with multiple subjects. The majority is Pahl family related, most likely on few different days. And yes, there are babies involved. First image is misplaced, it’s the start of a horse race and we’ve seen related images prior to this blog post when Joel was at Stanford University. Next…

Shirley Salini, Box 63, 1953
This negative box, in-spite of the Feb 49 expiration date, contains images of three shoots with Shirley Salini. August 24, 1953, July 1954 and July 28, 1954. A little bit of research shows that Shirley Elizabeth Salini lived at 711 West Walnut, two blocks west of Joel. Furthermore, Shirley’s father Alton Salini, worked for the…

Bush-Mack, Box 62, June 5, 1948
All the pencil mark sait on the box was Bush-Wack, June 5, 1948. This was the same negative box with the images of the full 1700 block on Pacific Avenue, where we observed the construction of the Tuxedo Park Office starting in 1947. I believe Joel was friends with Philipe Bush. They both graduated in…

Sierra Railway, Box 61, 1948
It looks like Joel took a trip to Jamestown as far as my research showed. And because of William Maxwell’s comments below, we can guess with some accuracy the rest of the itinerary. So, I took the liberty updating the image captions and add some context. William Maxwell, archivist for the Bank of Stockton, is…

Car Race, Box 60, Summer 1948
This box has as usual multiple subjects spread over 22 negatives. The box states June-July 1948, but with some circus images mixed in between, this should be May-July 1948. I’m not sure where the car race is held. Lodi or Stockton I would say. And Joel is again struggling with light leaks in this film…
