There are about 20 of these behemoths on a couple of bookshelves in one of our spare bedrooms. Obviously, I didn’t know anything about proper library management of photos 30 years ago! Even after I went fully digital in 2004, and right up until sometime in mid-2008, everything, and I mean everything that was worth keeping, ended up in a photo album.
1982”, one said “Fireworks Fujichrome 50”, and the others said “Zilker Gardens”, “Foreigner 4 1-17-1982, Cars 1-24-82”, “Lake Travis 3-81”, “Good Shots 1” and “Good Shots 2”. That box of photos was plainly marked “AWHQ 12-27-80”, but only a few of the other 11 boxes were labeled in any way whatsoever. Those photos will definitely be used sometime soon for a blog post, as I am sure that they will be of interest to many other longtime Austinites! There was only one specific box of slides that I had been looking for, and it contained photos that I had taken inside of a famous local nightclub / concert hall just a few nights before it closed its doors forever. A few blasts of air from my Rocket Blower, and I was all set to find out what sort of photos that I would find. Instead, I just plugged in the AC adapter into the wall, pushed down on the light bar, and instant glow! The light bulb still worked, but man, was it ever dusty inside of this thing. I was thankful that I never installed the size C batteries, as I was certain that they would have been corroded and ruin the electrical contacts. Today, I am absolutely shocked to see that B&H still sells the exact same model that I have!
Fortunately, inside the box I also had a GAF Pana-Vue 1 Lighted 2×2 Slide Viewer. This was my box of 35mm slides!Īfter I put all of the “big boy” shorts into the washing machine, I sat down at the kitchen table and sorted out my new found treasure. This was a box I had been looking for for years. What I found made me immediately start to tremble with excitement! This wasn’t a box of junk. After I got onto our short step ladder, I saw that there was a small box on top of the box labeled “Shorts – 38”, so I took that box down and opened the lid to see what the heck other useless junk we’d been saving around here. I was now tired of my size 36″ waist shorts being too tight, so I had succumbed to the disgusting reality that I now needed to get out those old size 38″ shorts again. Last Sunday, I was rummaging around in one of our storage closets, where I had remembered seeing a box of old shorts that had become too big to wear.
