How did you like "Camera Notes"? Well, we didn't find any specific camera information. However, we guess they were suggesting these scenes for your camera (and throwing in a little advertising to boot!).

Thank you for stopping by John's Island.
i think it was a pretty neat keepsake - then and now. :)
ReplyDeleteThat was fun! I read all the text and smiled to realize I remember the "Aitchison Topeka and Santa Fe" line from my childhood. The clothes, the cars, and the fact that it's all gone now. I sure did enjoy it, John. Thanks! :-)
ReplyDeleteThat was really neat to see all the pictures.
ReplyDeleteI love the picture of the freighter - what great colors.
It is neat seeing all the places to visit. I like the shot of the cruise ship! Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteI love this series, John!
ReplyDeleteHow else are you going to get people to ride on your trains? They make all these attractions sound very exciting.
ReplyDeleteFascinating photos,both the old and the new.
ReplyDeleteSo interesting the Camera Notes, with those pretty old photos. Very beautiful the two ship images, too.
ReplyDeleteHappy Sunday!
I really like the sepia tone of these photographs!
ReplyDeleteWonderful shots on the water today John. I really like the old brochure too. It is interesting to see what they have to say about many of the important cities in America. I also like the courier nurses. This would be a welcome addition to our trains today. The elderly always need help.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed the Camera Notes! Looks like plenty of good tips on a beautiful part of the world to tour. I thought it was very interesting how there were courier nurses. In some ways, the quality of life must have been better back then. We live in a different world now; we pump our own gas, self-checkout, etc. In some ways things have improved, but in others they have not.
ReplyDeleteLike a walk down memory lane. Vintage things are beautiful.
ReplyDeletecool, and cool. :)
ReplyDeleteI love this John, thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHow neat you have the vintage travel brochures! So that's what all those Cosco containers look like as the cross the ocean. I see them on long, long trains here. ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful vintage memories.
ReplyDeleteI loved the camera notes...Very interesting!
ReplyDeleteThere seemed to be a lot of hands-on care in those days, the nurses, the meals with actual china (!) and the fancy dress. Everyone looks so refined. The last time I flew I wore flip-flops and comfy pants! :)
ReplyDeleteFlew...ha ha... Ok, the last time I took a train I was also not fancy. I think I was about 13 and wore designer jeans and one of those t-shirts with different color sleeves. It was the 80's.
