I have 5000+ negatives and 8 mm color video all were taken and developed by my grandfather in the mid 30's - early 50's. They range from airplanes to the construction of Papermills to OCS school in Philly, NY Worlds Fair 1939, Duke University 1940-1944 (including Video of the only Rose bowl not played in Pasedena to his Battleship (Soley) to Tokyo Feb 1946 including the mountains with the Railways running into them. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

MORE are coming...
It is quite a process to get these into digital format as they are large format 3x5 high quality negs. (My great grandfather owned a Newspaper, then was a sports editor for the Charlotte Observer and edited the NC truck owners magazine so the equipment was at hand) I set up a high intensity light behind the negs and use a long focal length 8 megapixel camera to get the neg into digital, then invert the image and white balance in photoshop. I am communicating with Getty Images about hosting the collection. My grandfather was an engineer (designed and built papermills) so I have all kinds of photos of construction of Hotels in downtown Charlotte, radio towers, etc... Austell Boxboard Mill #1 (just outside of Atlanta) ![]()

I have a bunch of good airplane photos too. Here's the one and only Convair XC-99 transport at its home base of Kelley AFB in about 1950. My dad was a young enlisted man when the XC-99 first arrived at Kelley and said that when it landed, with its original single wheel main landing gear, that it broke through the asphalt as it taxied in. It was updated with multi-wheel mains soon after. It remained at Kelley after its 1955 retirement but has been moved to Dayton for restoration and eventual display at the USAF Museum. The XC-99 is a derivative of the B-36 bomber.
Just beyond the XC-99 is a Boeing YC-97 (early short B-29 style tail and R-3350 engines) and two B-29s. ![]() |
