The Old Photo Guy is a Business dedicated to saving Historical Photos for future generations. I started collecting Logging images after i had a customer come into my studio and tell me about the old photos that were in his family and they did not know what to do with them so they threw them in the dump. After that day i asked every person over 30 if they knew where i could locate old historical photos ; and to my surprise hundreds of people started donating their old photos so my wife Penny and I have dedicated our lives to finding and preserving the past for the future one photo at a time. Our Collection is mainly focused on the Logging along the Pacific North West . We are based out of Northern California in Beautiful Humboldt County. I have been in the Photography Business since 1987

Guestbook for The Old Photo Guy

14.Chalene Hansen Primofiore(non-registered)

Awesome collection! Viewing these brings back such memories! 9 years old at the time, was rescued myself by the National Guard. These pictures today are tearing me up, thinking of my Dad, Charlie who took such a lost. No thought of ever giving up, just move forward. Never ever felt sorry for himself or any help from the Red Cross or any agency He took care of everything himself. It was get this mess cleaned up, we have business to run. Humboldt Drive In Theater and Hansen Wire Rope. Also our family home which I still live today had 18 inches of water in it. These picture are just amazing, when I think of all the lives and families that were devastated by this flood. That generation, our parents did not sit around for any hand outs, like the generation of many today. Glad of the work ethics that were instilled in us. There is a couple pictures that I am going to want that have the Humboldt Drive In Theater, which is the closed Hansen's Truck Stop. Yes, keep up your awesome work! I was just hit with a soft spot today looking at these photos, I'll be talking to you soon! Charlene

Truly and artist Absolutely great stuff

Great to see pictures of Fernbridge on your website. My family lived at the old Governor Bailey Estate "fishing lodge" in Fernbridge from 1950 to 1964, and the pictures brought back fond memories of summers swimming under the bridge. My Dad was raised in Fortuna, and claimed to have actually felled redwoods with two-man handsaws in his early years.

It really gives many of us a realazation of how good we really have it today, the historical photos i'm sure people throughout the northern state could provide a little more detail as to location and names and or property, im sure through time it will be fun to sit back with elders to bicker locality of photos and or people and im sure stories will develope that will be educational and eager to hear of pastimes by sharing with friends and family. thank you Ive yet to archive a 100 year collection with arial photographs of the 55 64 floods and the rise and fall of our once great redwood curtain legacy.
