  • Kodak Ektachrome, Box 95, 1957

    Kodak Ektachrome, Box 95, 1957

    This yellow Kodak Ektachrome box has an expiration date of January 1948. Joel had developed this color film stock as B&W to experiment with the rendering of the tones and contrast. Joel always liked to experiment. We’ve discussed these negatives quite a while ago. What’s in the box ? Three subjects and some. There’s a…

  • YMI – Graduation, Box 87, July 1948

    YMI – Graduation, Box 87, July 1948

    The exact date on the box is July 18, 1948. Graduation is self explanatory, and YMI in this case stands for Young Men Institute. Joel photographed members of Weber 49 -YWI (Young Women Institute) in 1946. This time there’s a parade with the male and female section of this Catholic group. And as we will…

  • Majorettes and football, Box 67, 1948

    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…

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…

    More color, June 14, 1946

    Yesterday was actually our 50th blog post in this discovery of Joel Pahl Dardis photographic work. We’ve seen over this time some 750 images so far. Below are a few more Kodachrome images from the June 14, 1946 box. These are all Carnival or Circus related. We’ve seen some isolated slides before on this subject…

  • Kodachrome, March 28, 1944

    Kodachrome, March 28, 1944

    On March 28, 1944, the Red Army captured Nikolaev, the main shipbuilding center of the Black Sea in southern Ukraine. Same day the British MP’s voted to give women teachers the same pay as men. When I found a Kodachrome box with a March 28, 1944 date, my hopes were high there would be slides…
