From: Robert Gonsett Them there '49 snow photos might really be from '49 based on the old-timey electric power pole, but were them photos colorized? Most photos were black & white back then.
From: Steve Bailey Those color photos came from color slides that my dad took. He used to have an Argus C-3 camera that he took pictures with. I took the color slides and scanned them into digital format. I believe that the 1949 snow was one of the largest snows on record for the mountain.
From: Robert Gonsett Thank you for the background information on the Palomar pictures. Let's see, Kodachrome, Ektachrome and even Kodacolor should have been available in the late 40s, so I'll bet one of those films was used. (Some B&W pictures from that era were later hand colored, but you are fortunate to have genuine color slides.) The Argus C-3 was a very popular camera -- also known as "the brick" by many. In any event, those are terrific photos. Thanks for sharing. Bob Gonsett, Fallbrook
