Circa 1905. "Broadway & Fifth Avenue, looking east, Knoxville, Tennessee." 8x10 inch dry plate glass negative, Detroit Publishing Company. View full size. Conjecture: Life in the CityI can only imagine what life must have been like in Knoxville in 1905. The dirt street and horse droppings made for a toxic mix. The horse urine must have made the odor even more interesting. The way the street slopes to the sidewalk would also have made the toxic mix migrate during the rain. All the better to take some home on your shoes and long skirts to share with family and friends, not to mention fellow trolley riders. What about the flies? It's Knoxville: there had to be flies aplenty. Considering the primitive medical practices of the time, it's no wonder life expectancy was in the fifties. (The Gallery, Knoxville)

This is my dad's original copy of the Detroit News photo of the Battle of the Overpass when Ford's hired "goons" beat up striking auto workers. The complete story is here. My dad, James E. (Scotty) Kilpatrick, took the shots and hid the glass plates in his car and gave them blanks. The photos were on the front page the next day. View full size. Glass plates?This is a great picture and of course the picture that inspired the Pulitzer Prize for Photography. Very cool that your Dad was the photographer. I have to say though that what he gave the goons were either empty or unexposed film packs, not glass plates. Other pictures of the incident show him shooting with a 4x5 Speed Graphic. He was either using two-shot film packs which carried two pieces of sheet film with removable dark slides. One shot. insert the dark slide flip the pack, remove the dark slide, second shot, insert the dark slide, reload. They also made multipacks that were a little faster to use, (although I don't know if they made them for the 4x5.) (ShorpyBlog, Member Gallery)

My dad took this in the late 1930's either in Detroit or Dearborn, Michigan. I think the guy is my dad's cousin. No idea what kind of car. View full size. The Most Beautiful Thing on Wheels...or so Pontiac heralded their 1935 Models in print ads. It marked the first year of their trademark "Silver Streak," and featured the new solid steel "turret-top." 1935 was the only year Pontiac produced cars with the grimly nicknamed "suicide doors" in front. This particular "Beautiful Thing" is a six-cylinder coupe from that year. Here is a page from the 1935 Pontiac sales brochure: (ShorpyBlog, Member Gallery)

My father took this Kodachrome of me in 1956 in Riverside (now Windsor) Ontario. The tube radio was tuned to 1130 AM, WCAR in Pontiac, Michigan. Also visible on the dial are the Conelrad (Civil Defense) stations, at 640 and 1230 kHz. Every Saturday at noon we heard the air raid sirens being tested in Detroit, just across the river. The red opaque plastic glowed warmly in the dark. The fact that I am holding the globe with Australia in my hand was prophetic - within two years our family had moved there. My favourite song on the radio at this time: "Standing on the Corner" by the Four Lads. View full size. Great picTerrific pic. Thanks for providing. Hope things went well for you all in Oz. Did you stay? Came to love maps about the same age as you - always wanted a globe. Funny how things don't always change. Australia a classic pink bit of the British Commonwealth in '56. Guess Canada was the same. Malaysia and Burma clearly were. Barely an empire to speak of 10 years later. But CHOGM meeting in Perth this week! Cold War comments interesting. Despite best attempts by politicians, most Australians happily managed to tune out of the whole end-of-the-world thing. All too far away; busy eating lotuses. But an American friend tells me how her neck always tingled when the sirens were tested in her city, Hartford. Way different worlds. JP in Sydney (ShorpyBlog, Member Gallery)
