These are more elaborate art work processed with Photoshop beyond merely adjusting the picture elements. There may be textures or other elements added to the picture, therefore not, basically, a processed negative. Test shots with some Kodak 2238. These are ISO 20 shot with canon eos 10QD and a Vivitar Auto Wide 21mm T4 lens in M42 mount. Working on a faster developer XR-1 to boost the speed to ISO 80. These were just some fun scans and post goofing.

Guests stayed in tents at Spink's Resort on Spring Creek in the early 1900s.
R.C. Spink, who came to Klamath County in the late 1800s, focused his business interests in the Chiloquin area. At one time he proposed supplying municipal drinking water to the city of Klamath Falls through a pipeline from Spring Creek. The city opted to drill wells instead. A community park on the west side of Chiloquin is named for Spink.
A marching band proceeds down Main Street of Klamath Falls. No date was recorded for this image, but it may have been taken during the memorable and much photographed Independence Day parade of 1907, during a time when brick buildings were starting to appear on Main Street. The band is seen here marching past the 600 block of Main Street. The Linkville Trolley tracks are seen in the street. The figure of a rifle hangs from a building in the background; indicating the location of the venerable Gun Store, operated by James "Barney" Chambers.
London Post card from 1969 which depicts London transport's RM1737, LT's first all over advert bus which advertised Silexine Paints with scenes of the Capital painted all over the bus. This bus now resides in the London transport museum in Covent Garden although it is a different body and running units due to LT's overhaul system.

"Patent June 14, 1910" (1914?)
and Canemah Studio, a member of Flickr, says in the description of his camera's photo:
"It was manufactured with a collaboration between the Houghton Ltd. of London and Gennert company of New York in the early 1900's, probably between 1911-1915. It's a very uncommon camera and information on this particular model has been difficult to find. The attention to detail is fantastic and the workmanship of British cameras is quite remarkable and beautiful."
A brief history about Houghtons in pre-WW1 era:
Haughtons dates back to 1814 as a glass seller. Then they began to distribute the Daguerreotype requzites. After 1904 the firm produced a vast range of cameras and absorbed some small camera makers. From 1900 until around 1909, a large number of Houghtons' cameras were German imports, primarily Dr.Krugener.
There are many similarities between this camera and some Dr.Krugener models. So, it could be that my camera is a kind of copy of Krugeners.

Tuck’s Post Card. Early 1900’s. Raphael Tuck and Sons. Printed in England. “Art Publishers to Their Majesties the King & Queen.”
This impressive stone masonry building served as the Central Elementary School in Klamath Falls from 1905 to 1928. The building stood between Eighth and Tenth Streets on the northwesterly side of Main. It was torn down to make way for the Oregon Bank Building, known in later years as the Medical Dental Building.
The older wood-frame school building that had served the community since 1890 is seen at far right. While the stone building was torn down after only 24 years of use, the older building served for many more years as an apartment building.
Post card used Cancel date 1914.

Nothing is known about the story behind this post card other than what can be surmised from the card's message. The first Portland Rose Festival occurred in 1904. At the time this card was produced for the 1908 Rose Festival, Klamath Basin residents were optimistic they would soon have a railroad connection with the state's urban center. Unfortunately, it would be another year before the Southern Pacific Railroad reached Klamath Falls from the south, and yet another 17 years before there was a direct rail line between Klamath and Portland. The card's beautiful design doesn't highlight any features unique to Klamath. It was likely a stock image.

Vintage image of a gag post card featuring hugely popular adult film star John Holmes as a guest, in the opening credits, on the then- popular television show, The Love Boat. This is a real Times Square special with probably no licensing or royalties paid to either The Love Boat or John Holmes. I doubt that many of these were printed. I will say that this is definitely creative and actually pretty funny. Great sad early puppy dog look on Holmes, and not the strung out edgy look he got in his later years. It’s always a thrill when it’s from Vinnie DeVille!
The first Catholic Church in Klamath Falls was built in 1905 at the corner of Donald Street and Worden Avenue. An addition to the building provided housing for the priest, and a barn was built to shelter his horse. A woodshed is seen behind the church building in this photo. The church purchased property at the corner of Eighth and High Streets in 1916, and this building was moved to the new location. A brick church building replaced the wooden structure in 1929. Meanwhile, the old property on Worden Street became the home of Fairview Elementary School in 1920.

The Algoma Lumber Co. mill was located about seven miles north of Klamath Falls, along the east shore of Upper Klamath Lake, and immediately adjacent to the Southern Pacific Railroad. This undated photo was probably taken a few years after the mill opened in 1914. In this view, smoke is seen rising from the mill's slab burner (at right-center) before the wigwam tower had been built. The concrete base of the burner can still be seen today at the site.
Wooden planks served as the platform for Oregon Gov. George Chamberlain when he paid a visit to Klamath Falls – an occasion worthy of putting on a picture post card. With the county's 1888 courthouse as a backdrop, Chamberlain spoke to a crowd gathered on the courthouse lawn. No date was noted for this photo. Chamberlain served as Oregon governor from 1903 to 1909. The only other person museum staff can identify in this photo is Capt. O.C. Applegate, seen second from left from the governor.

The Houston Hotel at the corner of Second and Main streets in Klamath Falls was the scene of the deadliest fire in Klamath County history when it burned in the early morning hours of Sept. 6, 1920. At least nine people – and possibly as many as 13 – perished in the blaze that occurred as the hotel was filled with visitors for the Labor Day weekend. A service station that has been idle for several years currently occupies this spot. Flames from the hotel spread across Main Street to the Houston Opera House, destroying it as well. Both buildings were operated by J.V. Houston, a prominent businessman in town. Although the name "Livermore" appears on a sign on the building, it was known by local residents as the Houston Hotel.

The headgates of the A Canal on Upper Klamath Lake drew much attention as the Klamath Reclamation Project began operations in 1907. The Klamath Project was the nation's first large-scale federal land reclamation and irrigation project. The headgates were the focus of attention again in 2001 as they became the site of protests over the government's decision to deny water to farmers in order to protect fish. Armed federal agents guarded the headgates around the clock for several weeks that year. The original headgates were replaced in 2002. A ridge in the background is covered with timber that burned in the Orindale fire in August 1973.
Motorists entering the Klamath Basin from the north in the 1920s and '30s saw a view like this one as they descended Sun Pass near Fort Klamath. The clearing at left-center is near Kimball State Park at the head of Wood River. A patch of timber in the center marks the town of Fort Klamath. Another patch of timber to the right – just west of Highway 62 – has been cut since this photo was taken. The Mountain Lakes area is seen on the horizon at right. Highway 97 came over Sun Pass until a new route was established over Spring Creek Hill in 1948.
