Cubish
All of these photos lend themselves very well to the square format, especially the last one. The border also helps give them a sense of intrigue and mystery. There is no information on the back, so we must guess where we are. I'm going to assume somewhere in California.

It's called fashion
One of the best parts about old photos is seeing the different fashions. You can see how trends of today come from the older generations. Here is a great dress that shows off an era. Made of practical materials, serviceable, yet fashionable, with a high waist and collar. As well as the dress being tinted, the woman herself is as well. She appears to be standing by some sort of monument, possibly at a museum. Her Beau was probably on the other side of the camera on their day out.

Just a boat
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.

Just a puppy? or something more?
From a glance, there doesn't seem to be much to the photo. just a slightly blurry, slightly out of focus dog. By most standards, just another photo that would be tossed back in the bin. But if you look closer, there is something a little odd about it. In the corner, there is what appears to be a wheelchair. Who knows who it is, it could be a 90 year old or a nine year old. They look as if they're at a pier, so they could be off on a fancy yacht or gust injuring the view. Thats the beauty of found photos, how everyone can make up a story to go along with us and we are all equally correct.
