The actual slides are better than suggested by these images. However, they are over fifty years old
and faded and suffering a severe colour loss. A few slides (one example below shown half as is and
half with the image extracted) had a pronounced red colour cast. Many appear to be black & white.

Well that's it for this month. If you have any questions, you can contact Bill Belier. The images on this page from Larry's presentation were taken with a Nikon 990 digital camera directly from the screen and adjusted in Photoshop. Click on any small image to see it larger in a separate window. Please note the Mosquito images are now ©2003 and owned by Larry Boccioletti who should be contacted before use. The other images are ©2003 by the Photographic Historical Society of Canada and may be used if the source is mentioned.
