  1. Today
  2. Newly restored 35mm slide. The grass was looking pretty ratty!
  3. It's a hobby turned into fast cash for the summer. I bet it helped get them through college :). I wouldn't be shocked for at least one or two doing that.
  4. Newly restored large format slide of the Helldrivers, early 1964.
  5. No, you walked from one room to another as I recall.
  6. Yesterday
  7. I don't remember the live show with music and screens but I do remember standing for the chemical show. Was there a rotating stage?
  8. Last week
  9. Mark your calendars. July 14 A 1964 NYWF anniversary celebration in the Park. Details to follow.
  10. March 25 marks the 113th anniversary of this terrible tragedy in NYC. Not fair related but important to remember.
  11. PS: it was created by Goldfarb Expo Souvenir Corporation, NYC. Below is an image of their souvenir catalogue.
  12. Speaking of Ford, this was sent to me by a friend who found it among her late parents’ treasures. There is an image of Ford just to the left of the Unisphere. The thermometer still works.
  13. I am puzzled by the iris-in and iris-out effects. Obviously hand-made, but how? One of the iris-out effects shows a slight vignette popping on followed by the contracting iris, all apparently without a jump cut to install the iris. Have to look at them some more.
  14. I just noticed, it gives me a better feel for the outside of the Better Living Center. The photographer grabbed a peaceful serene area of the fair with the great exhibits surrounding it. It took me a while to realize what exact spot that was. Mr. Young's Time Life Map doesn't do it justice.
  15. Thanks. I always enjoy coming across things that are new to me.
  16. What a beautiful exposition that was. I’d guess this was home made simply because there are some unprofessional scenes such as in the early footage, a man with a wide brimmed hat blocks the camera view of a performer in the distance. Regardless, whoever captured these scenes was an artist. This film is quite wonderful. Thank you for sharing it with us.
  17. I just saw them too right after thinking “what, no nuns?”.
  18. Billed as "1939 GOLDEN GATE EXPOSITION SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA 8mm HOME MOVIE XD59764" but looks to me like a professional or very advanced amateur shooting the fair. 15:36:13 shows what appears to be an interview before an early TV camera.
  19. I wonder how many clicked anyway. I did.😃
