Childhood, Sleeve 0, 1922-1925
I didn’t run out of boxes yet, but while perusing photo sleeves, I came across some transparent Hy-Klas Stockton Process Sleeves with 116 or 616 format negatives. It was immediately clear that Joel didn’t take these images, and I assume it was Thomas Lawrence Dardis Sr. photographing few family events. The first one that jumped…

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…

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…

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…

Jack Pahl, Box 24, 1947
Few different subjects in this box where the majority is photographed on Agfa Super Plenachrome Press stock. The pencil marks read “Jack Pahl Family, Dec 25, 1947” and below that “Torlan, Dec 26, 1947” (Note: Torlan could also be Toulau, Toilan … Joel’s spelling is often erratic.) We do find multiple subjects in this box…

Baby Alert, Box 23, 1947
This box is missing its cover lid. On the bottom it reads in pencil “Werne Pahl Baby” “Feb 3, 1947” and “March 16, 1948”. Two events, two subjects as we will see. There are a total of 21 negatives in this box. I won’t show then all this time as quite a few of them…

Press Negatives, Box 11, 1942
Last box I found with the “Feb 19, 1943” date written on it and “Pictures Taken 1942” Twenty two negatives in a box of 12 and a mix of subjects. There’s also a mix of types of film based on shape of the notches on the negatives. Starting out with family images. One cannot escape…
