Got a new treasure from eBay. I love RPPCs…

Florida State Bank & Forsyth St. Jacksonville, FLA.

I recently acquired some historic photos for my 1926 project. Interestingly enough, I was able to acquire an aerial photograph of downtown from 1926.

Got a few more postcards. These images from 1902-1930’s are really helping me to build an image of what downtown looked like back then. Not all of these are postmarked, and most do not have copyright dates, so there’s some difficulty deciphering exactly what year each image represents.

It’s been a while since I’ve posted. I haven’t given up, nor have I gotten discouraged, just busy.

When I can’t actively model though, I am constantly researching and gathering information for the project. An example is the ever-growing database of photographs I’m continually taking on my walks downtown. I’m up to around 1,600 or so. Another example is the collection of old Jacksonville postcards that I’ve begun. I’m looking for postcards in from 1900-1940’s. Take a look at my current collection.
