Thank you Matt.Carl: Beautiful B & W. The tonality's perfect for the subject. :salute:
What a wonderful collection of old photos. I wonder how far back this Alaskan glacier has receded since this photo was taken.I have to share these and this seems like the closest fit. Film (well actually a "print" on a glass plate) and certainly not taken with a Leica M.
In the late 70's I had a part-time job as a garbage man at an institution of higher learning. These were supposed to be thrown away; but, I took a small box home. They've been sitting in the box for 30 years. The other day, I scanned a few. They all date from around 1900. One was dated 1888.

Carl: Serendipity, and a little theft. I'm wondering that too. I've got a friend who's been up there a lot. There' seven big "tidewater" glaciers in AK and all are receding. Maybe, he recognizes this one. You know the AK tourist slogan: "See Alaska while it's still here".Thank you Matt.

Lloyd: I found it hard to throw those away. There were boxes of them. I'm sure they were duplicates, but, still...These are amazing Matt. Great save!!
Randy: Nice photo and car! :thumbup: Is this near Monterey and the Concours d'elegance? I've been really impressed with the IQ of the contax G1 and G2.Contax G1, 45mm Lens, Kodax BW400CN

This is terrific. The exquisite tracery of the rebar, the hanging tendrals of post-tension cables, and the eroded concrete make a great photo. It almost like a natural scene. Cheers, Matt.Packard plant detroit
+1. Great image. I agree with Matt, it does almost look natural... sort of cave-like.This is terrific. The exquisite tracery of the rebar, the hanging tendrals of post-tension cables, and the eroded concrete make a great photo. It almost like a natural scene. Cheers, Matt.

A few more lantern slides.
"Walrus among the ice floes in Bering Sea, Nome"
"Barkantine Queen"
Barkentine \Bark"en*tine\, n. [See Bark, n., a vessel.]
(Naut.) A threemasted vessel, having the foremast square-rigged, and the others schooner-rigged.
Downtown Seattle, probably around 1906 - 1909, just after the San Francisco Earthquake. There's a sign, second on the right, that identifies the "Seattle Agency of the The San Francisco Examiner Chronicle". The Examiner's offices were destroyed in the earthquake and for a while they brought out joint editions with the Chronicle.
This must be the original gate to Woodland Park (designed by the Olmsted Brothers; now our Zoo); probably taken around 1902

These really are amazing.this whole series is great.. they'd make fantastic alt-process prints
A giant +1 on that!These really are amazing.
Jim: They're a great find. I googled "alt-process" prints. Pretty fascinating range of processes. It seems that a lantern slide might fit that definition. It's essentially a contact print made on to a treated glass plate (or sometimes a camera projection, or, something like that).this whole series is great.. they'd make fantastic alt-process prints
These really are amazing.
Lloyd/Maggie: Thank you both!A giant +1 on that!
