Found Photo Fun

I have a hard time leaving other peoples photos in the bin at the thrift store. I know the next step for these one-time treasures is the shredder ... and recycle bin.

So what do I do with the photos I can't resist bringing home?

Well ... some stories are just begging to be told!!!

Snicker.

I'm having waaaay too much fun with these!

Shipyard Contrast

I found this old photo tucked into an old photo album at the thrift store, and felt it would be an appropriate "find" for today - Veterans Day!

I was intrigued by the two ships - a brilliant white cruise ship docked next to a dark gray military ship of some kind. I'm not sure when the photo was taken, but it seems to me both cruise ships and military ships are all much, much larger now.

I am linking this with "Vintage Weekly" ... for the first time in a long time!

Found Photo - Larry and Jim

I hate seeing old photos in the bins at the thrift outlet store. I know the next stop for these treasures is the shredder.

I found this cute shot of "Larry & Jim Balder", along with several other vintage (1940's and 1950's) photos a couple of years ago.

I never really noticed the shadows before ...

I can almost picture that photographer, with the big clunky camera and the gigantic flash on top ...

 

Trying to get a couple of kids to stand still!

1940's Photo - "Gibs"

I found this photo of Dad in a tiny photo album.

It was dated "1946 to 1949, Oscoda Air Base, Michigan".

I had never seen these photos before.
