Bathing suit styles come and go, but some things never change. Summertime at the beach is always a lot of fun. Here are a couple of shots from my grandpa's 1950s slide collection.
Anyone remember slides? If you are from anytime before the digital age, you might have hundreds (or in the case of my prolific photographer grandpa thousands) of these family gems in your closet somewhere.
I recall when we used to have "slide shows". A special screen would be brought out and the slides would be put into a special projector. Sometimes the show wouldn't happen as the bulb would be burnt out. Sometimes (most of the time) the pictures would be completely out of order...."Oh, there is Martha from 1958 in Germany.......oh the next one is at the beach in New Jersey....oh now we're back in Germany again."
Anyhow, I hope you enjoy these nostalgic images from some treasured people long gone.
I recently converted most of these to the digital age and it is amazing how vibrant the colors are from these 1950s images.

I remember the slide shows! My older sister and brother have their childhood photos in black and white snapshots, but my other sister and I have most of ours on slides, which means we don't get to view them much. We have to set a date for another slide show, so we can decide which photos all of us kids want copies of.
