Vintage Photos - Oestreicher (1425-1428)

See the previous post in this series here.

I made some impulse buys after getting a new scanner and picked up a huge batch of slides a while back. These pictures span from as early as the late 1940s to as late as the early 1990s. These were from Goodwill and eBay (sometimes via estate sales). There are many thousands of these slides. I will be scanning some from time to time and posting them here for posterity.

This set continues a large batch of slides that originally came from an estate sale and appear to have belonged to a locally well known photographer from the Spokane Washington area named Leo Oestreicher, or perhaps a friend or family member of his. These slides contain some landscape and portrait photos but also a lot of typical snapshot photos. Here's an article on him from 1997 which is the only info I have found on him: http://www.spokesman.com/stories/1997/jan/04/photos-of-a-lifetime-museum-acquisition-of-leo/

Many of these slides had the date they were processed stamped or printed on them. In most cases these photos were probably taken relatively near the processing date.

All of these photos appear to have been taken in the early to mid 1970s but besides the processing dates are otherwise unlabeled and undated. The first was processed in October 1972 and is a shot of the sky near sunrise or sunset.

The second was processed in July 1975 and shows a meal being prepared on a camping trip in a forest somewhere (probably the Pacific Northwest or somewhere else in the Western part of the U.S.)

The last two were processed in October 1976 and could have been taken near the same place but it is hard to tell. The third photo shows a lake or river surrounded by rocky hills and the fourth, though it is well camoflauged, shows a dear or some other animal among the trees.
