About this event
- 1 hour
Boswell is pleased to host an event with Adam Levin, author of Kodachrome Milwaukee.
Introduced by Kodak in 1935, Kodachrome quickly became popular with professional and amateur photographers in the years after World War II. Countless Kodachrome slides now lie neglected and discarded in attics and basements like tiny time capsules just waiting to be rediscovered.
Sharing more than 140 full-color photos from his own collection, Adam Levin, curator of the popular Old Milwaukee Facebook group, leads a stroll down memory lane into the Milwaukee of yesteryear.
As curator of the "Old Milwaukee" Facebook group, Adam Levin has provided Milwaukeeans with photos and tidbits of the Cream City's rich heritage. In 2020, he released Fading Ads of Milwaukee to showcase the city's ghost signs. When not wandering the city photographing building demolitions or newly revealed signs, Levin can be spotted perusing photographs and 35mm Kodachrome slides of bygone Milwaukee at local antique stores and estate sales.
