.the story of rudolf blaut. .11. .evolution of a room.

.every new house comes with a bit of work to do.

.dinner on the wall paper table. .they must have just moved in.

.at some point during this journey, children come along. .still have no idea of the timeline of this box of photos. .but the evolution of this room was easy.

.and just for kicks. .why not take a picture of your dad in his underwear. .still the life of the party. .and his and her beds? .i thought they only did that on tv?

.trains.2.

.after getting some requests for a better scan of one of the images, i noticed that the conductor and an other man can be seen hanging out of the side of the train. .maybe that will help me figure out where these were taken?

.planes. .trains. ...

.i have one case of slides that don't seem to belong to anything else i have. .maybe more will turn up, but until then, here is a glimpse of the trains in hamilton, and i think the planes may be from florida.

.the 6218 was the last coal fired locomotive to run out of montreal. .the engineer was angus louis duncan, it is now currently on display at the CNR fort eerie railroad museum.

.this was the page inside the box.

.rudolf relief.

.i came across this photo while scanning through some of my next sets/families. .made me laugh. .all the other photos in the envelope were construction pictures of a house in port dover. .this one didn't seem to fit in!

.the story of rudolf blaut. .10. .a city skyline.

.a little view of toronto before the cn tower. .any ideas where they may have been to take this picture?

.a view to the west.

.old and new city hall.

.the royal york hotel, rail lines and toronto island.



.the story of rudolf blaut. .9. .the end of a roll.

.i find it interesting to see what comes at the end of the roll. .the few pictures that are tacked on just so you can go get that great party shot developed. .why waste a picture? .right? .these were the images that were at the end of the new year's party roll.

.this is my second favorite shot of the whole box. .completely out of place. .no one we know is in it. it's in german. .something about not parking your bike by the building. .a great shot, maybe without the photographer even thinking about it.

.and then i wonder how long they waited to develop the party pictures, as there are still leaves on the trees.

.the story of rudolf blaut. .8. .the life of the party.

.i skipped christmas, and went right to the good party. .hats, streamers and fake mustaches. .what more could you want for a new years eve party in the 60s?

.he definitely would have been the life of the party. .just imagine him dancing.

.this is my guess. .he went to bed before midnight hit, and they had to wake him up to celebrate. .or, he's hungover and being held up on his way to breakfast.
