the lost slides



After my grandfather passed away this summer, my dad discovered a box of old 35mm slides. Among the pictures of of my father's (and his siblings') first communions, confirmations and graduations there were these amazing images from--as we say in Wisconsin--up north, of summers spent fishing and swimming during the the 50's and early 60's. Oh simpler times, sometimes you look so good...
