Babies and Cars

I began work today and learned how to 1) scan and photoshop yearbooks,
saving them into drobo and 2) research and identify Paulus photos. I
worked on the 1990 Wallulah, starting at page 122 and finishing 152 by
the time I left for lunch. I then turned to the Paulus photographs -
the first of which was marked incorrectly!! It was not the actual WU
football team, it was a group of intramural sophomores! So then there
were a lot of unidentifiable houses (was it the Dewdrop Inn?) that
I'll hopefully get to look at again, and then a long stream of old
cars, and then really adorable kids with ukelele's and violins, or
hanging out on swings with kittens. I believe that the Paulus brothers
spent some time taking photos for parents and schools, cause there
were quite a few classrooms, music classes, and posed bicycle photos -
and considering when the photos were taken, I doubt that the kids
could have been moving very quickly on their bikes (though I am not at
all an expert of the history of photography)!
