The Boardwalk Fire
This picture is from a fire in the mid 70’s and part of the Lost Film Collection. The Lost Film Collection consist of a number of rolls of undeveloped film I discovered in 2005 and developed. The grain structure is a little different, but otherwise most of them survived very well.
The Florida Keys
I will be spending the month of January in the Keys and taking that opportunity to update my various Keys postings on my websites. I will also be giving up my site that is specific to this subject. That site was never fully developed, not from the lack of interest, but from the lack of time.

Bay Head Is Under Water – 1932
On November 10, 1932, the Barnegat Bay rose six feet and left much of Bay Head, New Jersey under water. The photograph displayed here was taken by Tupper, a professional photographer located in Lakewood. Tupper on occassion did work for Slade Dale, and I would appreciate any information that anyone can provide about him. Mr. Tupper appears to have been a very good photographer and I hope his work has been preserved somewhere.
