this is mind-blowing david! i am so incredibly estatic that you were able to score these new photos! i had come across photos 2, 3, and 4 through articles that were in the stockton record, but i never had the chance of seeing the others. plus, these are so much more crisp than the crummy low-grade library copies i obtained.

the artist rendering as well as the photo of the bumatay tiki is absolutely fantastic! it is incredible to see more photos capturing the inside of the dark and mysterious islander. i am in love with the artist rendering, especially since i tried to hunt down the original blue prints (good ol' san joaquin county has destroyed everything prior to the 70's). is it just me, or does the bumatay tiki look painted?

i cannot stop pouring over these photos...so much for work getting done today!
