Back in the spring of 2007, Ida and Richard Lenz gave me a cigar box of photos to use for Beloit’s Club Pop House. I’ve posted a few of them on the blog in the past and some appeared in the book. Among the ones remaining were about a dozen 35mm color slides that looked like they were very underexposed and faded. When I was putting together the final selections for the book, I couldn’t use the slides because I didn’t have a decent way to examine and restore them quickly. So I put them aside thinking I would get to their restoration later. One thing led to another and eventually I forgot about them entirely. My bad!!
Well… I just found them and spent a couple of days scanning and restoring them. The small slide box in which they were originally mailed — addressed to Bob Dill, 846 College St, Beloit, Wis. — was postmarked January 18, 1955. There was also one black & white negative stuffed in the box! Take a look at these gems by clicking on the following link and consider this a unique color supplement to Beloit’s Club Pop House…
