Never Before Seen Santa Monica Beach Pictures from the 1950s

The photos were taken by Don Jim and come from his archives.

Local resident Margo Jim has compiled a slide show of photographs by Don Jim on Youtube, of Santa Monica’s Muscle Beach in the 1950s.

Margo told Patch, “For the most part, these photos have never been seen. I am in charge of Don’s archive and while some vintage prints of these images are available through a gallery, I discovered negatives that have never been printed. I scanned them and have put together this presentation.”
