Tom Hagerty lives in Lakeland and is gracious enough to shoot for MI4 and Lakeland Local. We say “gracious” because he is and he, like the rest of us, does it for free. We probably get the chance to publish a tenth of what we wish we could…and nothing of early work.
Until now.
For the next three weekends we’re going to publish our favorite Hagerty Black & White photos from the 70s, 80s, and 90s. None of them are of famous or infamous Central Florida locations. Hagerty wasn’t living here then, but no matter where they were shot they’re still artistic, compelling, and sometimes, fun.
There are 74 photos in the 1970s set, Check out the full set after these four…
And, for you That 70s Show: viewers who wondered if Hyde’s hairstyle is historically accurate:

Bio: The short line? Father, husband, writer. My online presence is primarily through as the editor, writer, and occasional photographer for the news sites, Lakeland Local, a sampling of the news, concerns, and events for Lakeland, Florida, and Metro i4 News, which covers the Interstate 4 corridor in Central Florida. Both sites feature the work of myself and other contributors. As a hobby, I manage a forum and some web sites that feature a pulp fiction series written by Lester Dent -- Doc Savage Organized, Doc Savage Info, and Flearun.
