At first I thought these two photos were from the thirties, but based on the hair and clothes, it looks more like the fifties. This looks like it was developed at home, because there are no marks on the back and that there is too much contrast.. There is too much white and black and not enough mid tones. This looks like a happy family. I wonder what happened to them. Thats a common thought when it comes to these photos. Why people would throw away these old memories.
We haven't had any colour for a few weeks, so lets change that. The bottom of this one was cut when I got it, presumably so it could fit in an album. I love this womans expression. She look slightly taken aback yet intrigued. On the back it says Chrieley + his great grand mother.
This image is oddly calming, yet creepy. It feels like it belongs in Miss Perigrins Home for Peculiar Children, a book I cannot recommend enough. It just has a mysterious vibe to it. I can't tell for sure but I think this is from the 30s based on the paper. This is a response to The new found photography's post.
It looks as if the dark room cropping didn't go so well, but it was still a nice thought. Im going to guess Thats its the boy developing this in his basement or garage, but I could be wrong. From the paper, Id guess this was mid 40s to early 50s, but thats just a hunch. This is from an eBay lot I bought So if its from there I'll put 300 In the links.
