Comics are all our hobby, but what other BIG HOBBY OF INTEREST might you have?
Yoc:
Wow, very interesting stuff Eric!
Thanks very much for sharing these with us.

Thanks! One more and then I'll shut up. :-X I just wanted to show a sort of before and after so people can get the sense of the difference between the scan of a print, and a copy made from the negative.
The print:

Eric,
My family and I live way up north on the shores of Lake Superior.
We were in Louisville last spring for the big High School National Archery Competition.
I walked right by Whiskey Row and wondered what was going on.
I wish had had known you were in the area, we could have hooked up and talked comics.
There is a good chance that we will be down there again this spring.
Yours,
B

Eric, thanks for sharing the photos. Very interesting especially the results of the comparison of scan to negative photo. Really cleaned things up. I'd be interested in any old photos of Crescent Hill, I grew up off Frankfort Ave by the water co and live off Cannons Lane by the park.
I got into genealogy a couple years ago as I was approaching my 60th birthday. Since then I've built a large extended family tree and scanned many old photos.
I also enjoy old movies and classic tv. History and popular culture have been interests for a long time. I was once a member of SABR and did lots of research on 19th century base ball in Louisville. I've collected sports and non-sports cards off and on over the last 40 years.
When the weather is good I putter about in the yard doing gardening and landscaping as well as cooking on the grill.
Also a big sports fan and attend games and follow my alma mater's teams.
And a music fan. My itunes library reflects the obsessive nature of an collector filling an external hard drive.
When anyone is visiting in Louisville give me a shout and we'll show you some Southern Hospitality.

Interesting to hear about everyone's passions. I'm a great fan of Golden Age Illustration (ca 1900-1955) and 19th Century Academic painters. I have a reasonable collection of books, tearsheets, and such, but now with the Internet and sites like Tumblr I'm filling several hard drives with so many images I'll probably never get round to looking at them again.
I enjoy movies of the 30s through the 50s, especially 30s musicals and noirish b&w movies with good art direction. However if I'm watching TV I can't be sitting at the drawing board, so I don't watch many of them any more.
I guess my greatest non-comics passion is popular and novelty music of the 20s and early 30s--up til the Big Band style took over. I have stacks of old 78s for my Victrola and subscribe to several YouTube channels on which collectors from around the world play and write about 20s records. My soundtrack is the website "Radio Dismuke," which plays all that stuff--if you like 20s and 30s music, definitely check it out.
