Press Negatives, Box 5, 1942
It appears Joel is no longer shooting SJC artwork for class. I found 16 negatives in a box of 12, but 4 negatives are clearly infrared film, so they don’t really belong in this box anyway. There’s are a few subjects in this box. Let’s start with dog puppies, looks like Butch, the Dardis family…

One look at the photography item tables, and it became immediately clear that this was a…
