Two Guys From Out in the Middle of a Field Somewhere

 

No, they're not selling pizza or whatever the two guys from Italy sell.  My best guess is that this picture was taken before World War 1, but after the turn of the century.  From the days when men wore suits for almost everything. 

Thumbnail

 

Not in the way we use the word now.  This photo of Grandma reading the paper is about the size of my thumbnail.  It's a bit out of focus, and if blown up, wouldn't be readable. 

Cut in Half

  

This is another one of those photos that has been cut down from a larger image.  I always wonder why.  An ex-boyfriend, how about an ex-husband?   Maybe it just needed to fit in a frame.  Written on the back, "Mon. Jan 2, 1939."  An interesting year.  The Great Depression was winding down, and U.S. involvement in World War 2 was only a few years away.  

Somewhere in Europe

 

Good Germans between the wars?  I have no idea where this photo was taken, but it's printed on Gevaert Ridax paper, manufactured in Belgium from 1905 to 1959.   

Judy's Baptism

 

Written on the back of the photo, "Judy's Baptismal Day.  Carleton & Judy Pak." 

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.
