Redwood Retro

 In the early 60s my grandfather had a house built in the Lakeview / Port Credit area of Mississauga. My grandparents took turns filming the construction resulting in 2 full length 8mm reels. I have condensed it quite a bit.  It was sold in the 80s and I've seen it on the market a few times. Its always fun to look at the real estate listing and see the changes that have made over the last 60 years.

1960s Christmas scenes captured with 35mm Kodachrome film 1962- My family on Xmas morning

 

This is a short one of a fire at a Coca Cola plant in Toronto. I'm pretty sure it is 1962. It was shot at the corner of Old Weston Road and Toronto where my family had a Texaco Gas station.  I have decided to put the films on YouTube so I have started a new channel,  Redwood Retro :)  Please subscribe if you like old home movies.

Photographers have been drawn to animal subjects since the invention of cameras with dogs being number one in my opinion. Searching through estate lots of amateur slides, I find just as many dog photos as I do ones of babies. These photos are all from the 1960s. Photographers unknown. Click here for my recent Dog photos
