Where will he be deployed?

 

There are a lot of photos out there of men in uniform.  From the clothing, my best guess is that this photo was taken around the late 1920s to early 1930s.  Did this young sailor hope for deployment in Hawaii or the Philippines?  Plum assignments before the Japanese attacks that brought the United States into World War 2. 

Three Daughters And A Million

 

Sometime in the last few days, I went over one million individual page views.  And no, considering how long The New Found Photography has been up and running, I have no idea if that's impressive or not.  Anyway, an older couple sharing a couch with three younger women.  Daughters?  That's my guess. 

A Vacation In Hamburg 9

 

Time for a little bit of color from some true found photography.  I'm not going to bother with typing out all sorts of info on part 9.  Click on Hamburg Vacation Collection in labels for the back story and to see more images from this lot.  

Wings

 

He's wearing wings on his uniform, so he must be a member of the Army Air Corps.  But is he headed off to war or getting home, having survived combat missions over Europe?  Clearly from the World War 2 era. 

A Real Old Car

 

This car was probably the pride and joy of this couple.  Mobility, nothing beats it. 

Cut Off His Head

 

It occurs to me that there are those out there who don't understand old-fashioned film photography.  That bar at the top of the print is where the film didn't advance far enough in the camera.  

Proof Sheets

 

I spent decades working in photo labs, specializing in black & white.  I processed tens of thousands of rolls of film and made proof sheets from them.  A proof sheet is made by placing the negatives directly on a piece of paper, then adding a sheet of glass to ensure good contact, and finally exposing them to light.  It looks like someone cut these two frames from the proof, and I think, 127 film.
