Roll 19690032: UC Riverside (1969)
The arrival of the umbrella-and-flash outfit changed portraits completely.
One: Pam Tilley, a dear friend who later died tragically.

Roll 19690031: UC Riverside (1967?)
This roll has no frame numbering or other edge markings. The complete absence of grain shows that it was some kind of high-contrast technical film that I souped in a supercompensating developer, probably Divided D-76. These are just test shots; I include them for UCR historians because of the raw state of the landscaping, which puts them (I would guess) in early 1967. See alt text.

Roll 19690030: UC Riverside (1967?)
A women's basketball game, UCR vs. UCLA. As you can see from the size of the audience, women's basketball was not yet a thing.
One: Players.

Roll 19690029: UC Riverside (1967)
I think that these two photos from early 1967 were my first attempts at creating "art." We had just acquired a 28mm lens for the Minolta, and I was fascinated by the effects I could get from it. Both pictures were taken in the Commons restroom located near the darkroom.
One: The old ghost trick.

Roll 19690027: UC Riverside (1967-1969)
One of a series of boring photos documenting the removal of a tree from an area near the bell tower, included here for UCR historians. I'll shortly be posting photos from another roll to make the daily quota.

Roll 19690026: UC Riverside (1969)
Random shots around the Commons. Fewer than the usual number of frames to scan, so it looks like I was just finishing off a roll containing more important images that ended up elsewhere (probably the doomed newspaper archive).
Set One: A friend of mine, playing with a yo-yo.

Roll 19690025: UC Riverside (1967)
A track meet.
I took thousands of sports photos. Most of them ended up in the Highlander collection that was later destroyed, but I still have a wad of loose negative strips that I have no interest in scanning; the UC archive can figure out what to do with them after I'm gone. This roll is interesting only because it was bulk-loaded Panatomic-X—a really strange thing to use here.
Set One.

Roll 19690016: Riverside (1970 or 1971)
And now for something different.
1/
For a year or so in 1970 or 1971, I was a participant in regular group therapy sessions provided for us poor folk by the Riverside County Public Health Department. On one particular occasion, for perhaps 10 minutes, my fellow participants allowed me to take pictures. In those 10 minutes, I ripped through three 36-exposure rolls of Tri-X.

Roll 19690001: UC Riverside (1969)
This is funny: I was so excited about the slides of the light show I posted recently that I accidentally skipped two rolls, which are among the very few in color that I took before 1985.
The first roll consists of rehearsal and backstage photos taken during the production of the play "Woyzeck."
These images are jpg straight from the scanner. The film used was High Speed Ektachrome Type B.
Set One.

Roll 19690015: UC Riverside (October 1969)
The last of the Sons of Champlin photos.
The only edge marking on the film is "Eastman 14" (no frame numbers), and the film itself still has a pronounced curl after being held flat for 58 years, so this is surely one of Kodak's "recording films," probably type 2485. This film was nominally rated EI 3200 and was available only in bulk rolls.

Roll 19690022: UC Riverside (October 1969)
After posting the photos of the band Sons of Champlin yesterday, I turned to a roll a few places down the line and realized that it belonged to the same set.
One: Bill Champlin. He had a stellar musical career, including many years with the band Chicago, and is still alive and leading a reconstituted version of the Sons.
#photography #filmphotography #retrobosak
Roll 19690014, cont.: UC Riverside (1969)
More pictures of The Sons of Champlin (and crew).
Set One.

Roll 196769a38: San Bernardino and Riverside (1968 or 1969)
Two portraits taken in different places. If I had to guess, I'd say that the first one was probably taken Xmas 1968 and the second one (on the same roll) right after returning from vacation in January 1969.
One: My mother, at her cabin in the San Bernardino mountains.
Catching up with more recent stuff. #retrobosak resumes on Monday.
One: Ithaca scenes, June 2025.

1/ We're now coming to the end of the negatives in the box labeled "1968." Those remaining to show you were all shot on a Rolleicord using 120 roll film and gathered together at the back of the box because of the difference in the size of the glassine envelopes in which they were found.
