Ford F150 for Food Service - a photo on Flickriver

            Image scanned from  photo print 4” x 6” size. Photo taken in year 2000. Generation 8 (1987-1991) Ford F-Series Pickup truck

This photo illustrates one of the common shortcomings of modern automated photo processing - cutoff of subject matter! It seems that machines are set so that not all of the image on the negative frame is printed, that certain material around the edges is cropped out for whatever reason. Comparing the print to the negative one can see that the truck has more space on the right margin than what’s apparent in this print.

Now, about the subject of the photo…

Within our plant we had a kitchen which was used mainly to heat frozen dinners and keep beverages cold. The main purpose of which was to prepare and deliver meals to hourly workers who stayed over and covered a double shift when their relief was unable to cover their normal shift.

Sometimes though there would be special occasions in which hundreds of employees would be likely to attend, so the kitchen staff would assist in those times as well. 

Just from the large white tent and the structures high in the distant background I can pretty much recall the location and specific occasion here. It was for a major merger announcement involving our company. And yes, I had my camera handy!

Happy Truck Thursday!
