A slide from a collection I purchased at the swap meet a few years back. They had belonged to an Air Force sergeant and his wife and dated from the 1950s to the 1970s; this one was marked May 1960. View full size.
I love this shot. Budweiser girls! From the days when each picture, especially color slides, cost a bit and you made sure you got the picture right. I collect thousands of these type of shots from the web and what I love is that, although they are posed, the posing always tells a story. Great shot!
Budweiser, cigarettes and baby's changing table!!
looking at photos.
And a pile of drugstore envelopes with two pouches, one for prints and one for negatives. The negatives were thrown out after this session no doubt.
Pity for us.
That's just a great photo! I remember my mom, aunts, and Granny sorting out and annotating who was in what old photo. It was a fun way to spend an afternoon or evening and I loved to hear them tell little anecdotes about the people and days remembered.
Those print dresses were what ladies "of a certain age" always wore. That Formica-and-aluminum table was so cool. Notice the beer cans were the old steel ones opened with a church-key opener.
Thanks for sharing!
Cigarettes matches and Budweiser flattops. Everyone had the can opener. Nice table though.
