Just out of curiousity Cimarron, can you tell me the source of this picture?
This photo was also used in Lynne Rostochil’s essay on the Founders District at OKCMod.com.
Rather than indicate credits for each of the article’s many photos, they’re lumped together at the end: “Photo credits: Vonnee Gregg/Curtis Burga collection; OKC Talk; Oklahoma History Center; OPUBCO Collection – OHC; Allison collection – Retro Metro OKC; Metropolitan Library System – Oklahoma City collection; Fritzler collection; Isaac Harper; Drake Sorey collection; Googlemaps” So the answer’s in there somewhere.
MichaelKilgore,
Except for the fact I found this picture doing research back in the 1990. It had not been seen since it was taken. .
The point is that everyone that is posting the photo as their own is problematic, as none of them know the source. This is the maddening thing about Cinema Treasures. They allow people to post photographs and verbatum text from other sites, and other persons posted elsewhere.
When someone does not quote a source of the photo, that should be a red flag for Cinema Treasures that the person is just posting a purloined picture, from someone else or another drive-in site.
Mr. Horton, I completely agree. I’m frankly annoyed at folks who don’t source their pictures and (perhaps accidentally) claim ownership through the Creative Commons license that’s chosen by default. That’s why I provide as much background and links as I can when I’m posting someone else’s photo, and I try to add that info when I find it on previously posted photos such as this one.
Now then, if you found this picture in 1990, can tell us where you found it? And if you’ve got any more notes about the Fair Park, you’ll be doing better than the Oklahoma Historical Society searchers I commissioned. Please write.
