Unidentified People, 1977. These 16 black and white negative film strips were created for the Lacey Leader newspaper. These images were created using many different film rolls, so many of the physical numbers on the strips are duplicated. For the purposes of this description, each of the strips will be grouped according to which film roll they originally came from by date. Each of these groups will be assigned a lower-case letter to go along with the physical numbers on the strips (ex: 1a, 2a, 3a, 1b, 2b, 3b, etc.) to help differentiate between images.
