I made some impulse buys after getting a new scanner and picked up a huge batch of slides a while back. These pictures span from as early as the late 1940s to as late as the early 1990s. These were from Goodwill and eBay (sometimes via estate sales). There are many thousands of these slides. I will be scanning some from time to time and posting them here for posterity.
This set continues a batch of slides that I bought on eBay a while back. I don't have as much to go on as to the ultimate origin of these compared to the previous batch I was working on. They came to me from eBay and most likely were picked up at an estate sale by the seller. Most of them seem to be taken in the 1960s and same individuals are included in many of the photos. It looks like there are some that were taken in Miami and some that were taken in New Jersey and perhaps elsewhere. I get the impression that Miami was a vacation spot for this family.
The first two photos in this set were processed in May 1965 and feature the same woman who is also featured in many other photos from this set, often with her husband. I particularly like the first one which is a portrait style photo that looks like it was taken near sunrise or sunset based on the lighting.
The third photo was processed in April 1965 and features a cat. As far as I can tell, photos of cats were just as popular before the age of the Internet as they are today.
The last photo was processed in June 1965 and shows a young man, probably a teenager. I don't recall seeing him in any previous photos from this set.
