Photo School

Larry Blumenthal who has a couple of Navy web sites http://www.usnavyphotos.com/ and http://www.ussfranklindroosevelt.com/ (see links) sent in these two photos that he took in May of 2007. The building really looks in great shape.
Here is his comments.

Here's 2 of the school I took in May 2007. It was still being used as a school but it seemed like there were foreign military personnel attending.

I found some more photos of the school building. I am still amazed that the Navy would let a building get so worn down and dirty. I know that everyone in the Navy knows how to paint and clean. Anyway I am glad to see it is looking better today, thanks to photo from
Randy and the video clip on You tube.

Hello,

Came upon your Photomate stuff and thought I'd share this with you. Recently flew into Pensacola for vacation and kinda sneaked past the "no visitors" sign and took a couple of pictures. The building looks fine. Taken 6-24-09 about 7:00 am. I graduated November 1974 or there about.

Here is a video that shows the Photo School building, the back entrance ,the hallways, class room and one of the "Heads" the content is kind of silly but at least we can see that the building looks in good shape.

Stev Pitchford a Navy Photo buddy sent me this link to the Photo School Building on Google Earth. The building looks in real good shape. Once on Google you can scroll over and see our old barracks, the EM Club etc.
