I thought these old photos were nice. Is there something about the 50's and early 60's that are classic ............or is it just me ........cuzzzzzzzzzz .....I am from that era ..........??

The pages below show prints I made from processing film I found in old cameras. You are seeing them for the first time as they were lost by the photographers that took these images.

I like the photos and the photos of the cameras they were taken with.

Thanks Red. Can you imagine the excitement when you find an old camera at a flea market ..........and ....when you get home .....you find out there is still film in it.

There used to be about 3 or 4 old cameras at my parents' place but I think they were probably destroyed. At least one was very old because it was just a square box about 8x6x4 and just had two tiny lenses and I don't think you held it up to your eye...just held it in front of your chest.

I'd be digging up ashes, I'm afraid. ;) I do have lots of very old photos of my grandparents and their parents though....going back to the late 1800's.
