Some Verichrome Pan made its way to Massachusetts from Indiana. Crossing miles and decades. Camera unknown.

I love fishing. I’m not a catfish guy but that’s certainly a nice one. Step back junior. Catfish will swallow anything.

Catfish are excellent when deep fried. They are also among the world’s toughest fish. This one is still alive in
in the photo and might be today.

Note the “clothesline” in the background. They are a thing of the past. My long-gone father made a clothesline out of two-inch steel pipe in 1959. It still stands in the backyard of the house I no longer live in. I used to shoot it with a bb gun. It made a nice “ping” when I hit it.

A real metal wheelbarrow in the background. I still use the one my father bought at Western Auto sixty five years ago.

I don’t know much about Indiana but this isn’t what I think of when I think about Indiana’s topography. It should be noted that I hardly ever think about Indiana’s topography.

I assume the photographer knew all these young women in their swimsuits.

My father used to film our beach vacations with an 8mm DeJur movie camera. Between scenes of me waving at the camera and frolicking
in the surf, there are short scenes of women in swimsuits. I assumed my father knew the women but now I’m pretty sure he didn’t.

Bikinis used to be a big deal. Now they’re as common as Bud Light.

Are there Palm Trees in Indiana ?
