Photo Slide Collector Ian Spring expands his search for rare color photography and starts his new search at the famous Brimfield Flea Market beside Boston USA 🙂
So the World search for original color photography from World War Two has brought me to the famous and monster Flea market in Brimfield near Boston this year.
First impression… it was fantastic !!
Very hot with 38 degrees but it was a happy and welcoming atmosphere with thousands of sellers offering you basically anything you want or needed or.. didn’t really need 😉
I was on the search of course for color slides and color film from the time period 1935 to 1945.
I wasnt disappointed. Within the first hour I found an original 8mm color kodachrome home movie filmed in New York city in 1945… for 5 dollars !! YIPPPEE 🙂
I then later found a small box of color slides from an american soldier 1942 doing military training.
One of the big extras for me was the great contacts I made.
My family may have laughed when I got a t-shirt printed (do you have ww2 color slides ?) but many people saw it and a few came over and swapped details because they did have material at home 🙂
So my search for color photography has now expanded into 2 continents 🙂
As I was in the beautiful Boston area, I was able to visit some other sites of historical interest including the John F Kennedy Museum and I was also able to pay respects to the (The New England Holocaust Memorial)
I never forgot, even with collecting photos, how much… evil was actually involved in this historical time and during the second world war.
And I hope that sharing my collection online that people see how bad these times actually were and that it should never never be repeated. Also the loss of so many innocent people, young and old that were slaughtered as a result of…evil…including millions of Jewish families 😦
Sorry i just wanted to say that !
