COP Football Shoot, JFC, 1959
Six negatives left over in 120 roll film format. The label on the envelope reads “COP Football, Sept 2, 1959” This confirms that Joel was shooting 120/220 format as early as 1959. I’ve seen a few other sample from that vintage float by. Joel still shoots the 3×4″ Press Format and the 4×5″ Large Format,…

Vernal Falls, Yosemite, JFC
Although we’ve now seen all 4×5″ negatives out of Jessica’s Collection, there are still a few strips of 120 format (2 1/4″ wide roll film) negatives left to scan and look at. The first envelope I scanned contained 4 images of Vernal Falls in Yosemite. These 4 images are all taken consecutively. There was no…

Emerald Bay, Lake Tahoe, JFC, 1982
The date on this sleeve is May 29, 1982. There are a total of 5 negatives in this sleeve, all depicting Lake Tahoe and Fannette Island. Joel has photographed this before, but all we got to see where snapshots with friends and family. Joel is using multiple lenses to obtain the ratio he wants or…

Japanese House, JFC, 1982
Joel choose a perfect day on December 1, 1982 to photograph the Japanese Garden at Micke Grove Park in Lodi. I showed few images from the same spot photographed by Joel in 1985 few blog posts back. This time however, Joel uses his 4×5 Graphic View camera to capture the foggy scenery. From prior experiments,…

Bank of America Parking Lot, Sleeve 5
There’s no date on this 4×5″ negative sleeve out of my collection. A total of 7 negatives and a little puzzle to unravel. Joel photographed parking lot stripes from a Bank of America parking lot. No further location. The above image was photographed with Joel’s Koni-Omega medium frame camera. So after 1959, but more likely…

Micke Grove, SFC, Dec 1985
This 4×5″ negative sleeve has”Mickey Grove, 12-28-1985″ written on it with “16×20 print page 23-6” There are only 3 negatives in this sleeve and they all depict the same scene. Based on Joel’s writing in the edge of the film, I can figure out that development of these negatives was done under different conditions, resulting…

Ceramics Critters, JFC, 1965
We’re setting the clock back to 1965. Joel photographed the shaping and decorating of what appears to be ceramic face masks. He called them “Critters” by lack of a better word in his vocabulary I guess. There’s no information retained on the 4×5″ negative sleeve on the what, when, who and where. Just showing the…
