Argoflex 75

1949-1958

Most of the photos on this roll appear to be have been taken on the same day and in the same neighborhood. I'm reminded of Ray Bradbury's "Dandelion Wine."

I loved summer as a kid and still do. The approach of spring started in late February and still does. I loved the out of doors and still do. My neighborhood was my world. It had all I wanted.

Nearly everyone I knew lived nearby. The girls were easy to walk home.

There are only traces of my neighborhood left. I don't know anyone there. Everybody drives fast and the traffic is awful. There's a massive theater complex where I used to go fishing. The sidewalks are gone. Nobody used them anymore.

Verichrome.
