Young Love

1 comment.-

One of the more playful images from the box of Virgil Deane’s photographs that I received. Seemed appropriate for a Valentine’s Day post.  Anyone at Jacksonville’s beaches know the identity of these young and somewhat reluctant models?

Bride and Groom?

3 comments.-

This is one of the more unusual photographs found in Loyd Sandgren’s collection of wedding photos.  I can only speculate that this is the new bride with her groom who is playing dress up for the amusement of the rest of the family.  If that is not it, then this was not the classic Ozzie and […]

San Marco Film Shoot

2 comments.-

There is no information about what was being filmed but it looks to me like a production shoot, perhaps some type of commercial, late 1940’s or early 1950’s. According to the 1949 Jacksonville City directory the Harry P. Davis Service Station was located at 2045 Hendricks Avenue, just before the San Marco intersection with Atlantic […]

Bathing Beauty and Photographer on the beach by Virgil Deane.  The print is showing a little age but the image is wonderful! Vintage Jacksonville recently received a packing box with hundreds of prints of photographs by Beaches photographer Virgil Deane from a Jacksonville resident who saved them from a trip to the dump when they […]

Crouching Woman, Leaping Man

No comments.-

A random image from one of Loyd Sandgren’s Theatre albums.  This image is in the same category as the photo of a man balancing on a chair.  I don’t know what it is about but I like it!

Wedding Day

2 comments.-

As a commercial photographer Loyd Sandgren took on the full spectrum of paying jobs to survive including shooting weddings.  There are over a dozen albums full of random and anonymous photos from wedding shoots spanning the late 1940’s through the 1960’s in the Loyd Sandgren Collection.  These are only the prints that survived so there […]

Retro Belly Dancing

1 comment.-

An unidentified belly dancer in an unknown club.  One of two photographs taken in the same establishment from an album of Loyd Sandgren’s titled simply “Girls.”  Shot in the late 1960’s or early 1970’s.  Very hip looking integrated crowd.  The psychedelic posters on the walls add so much to the decor.

Men With Guns, 1945

No comments.-

This is another frame from a series of photographs showing a Group of congressmen at the NAS Jacksonville range according to Loyd Sandgren’s notes.  Dated 10/15/45.  Again, I think this was probably from the Naval Air Gunnery School at Yellow Water.  Here is an additional photo on the pistol range of the third gentleman from the […]
