It has been a while since I have posted an update. I hope everyone is enjoying a great start to their year.
Through some generosity, we have acquired a scanner designed for the kind of archiving needed for this project.
As I go through the images one by one, I am finding more amazing treasures amongst them.
A tour of the White King Soap company ends with this portrtait, from 1958
This one is one of my favorites. This is a Judo tournament or exhibition. Having studied Judo for many years and reached the rank of Black Belt (Shodan) myself, I love seeing others enjoy this sport, even from 50 years ago!
A commercial shot done by the Ninomiya Studios. This one was for an Insurance office. The price on the gas pump reads ¢33 9/10. Outrageous prices!
There are many more and I will preview a few as I go along in the archiving and scanning process. I am working on photos from the 20th Annual Nisei Week festivities now and will post those in the coming days.
As always, I need your support! We have acquired some of our equipment needs but the list is still long and pricey.
