Vintage Photos - Oestreicher (1661-1664)

in #photography3 months ago

See the previous post in this series here.

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 large batch of slides that originally came from an estate sale and appear to have belonged to a locally well known photographer from the Spokane Washington area named Leo Oestreicher, or perhaps a friend or family member of his. These slides contain some landscape and portrait photos but also a lot of typical snapshot photos. Here's an article on him from 1997 which is the only info I have found on him: http://www.spokesman.com/stories/1997/jan/04/photos-of-a-lifetime-museum-acquisition-of-leo/

All of the photos in this set were processed in the early 1970s and were probably taken at that time. The first was processed in January 1972 and features a man and woman (probably husband and wife) standing outside a brick building. I'm guessing this was probably taken outside of a church. The next two were processed in August 1971 and shows a woman, small girl (probably mother and daughter) and dog. The last photo was also processed in August 1971 but appears to show the cutting of a cake at a wedding reception.
