A brief return to a collection of true found photographs, literally found on the street. Anyway, it looks like the interior of a Hamburg restaurant. None of these photos have anything written on them, but a photo from an earlier post was dated 1989, so I'm sure these are from that year as well. Click on Hamburg Vacation Collection in labels to see everything that's been posted. Lots more to come, but there will be a bit of a wait.
This is another of those throw-in photos that I end up with when I buy an envelope of photos and get a few that I'd never buy individually. Anyway, as a former professional black & white printer it interests me a bit. There's clearly detail in the subject's uniform and face, but whoever printed this didn't expose for what's really important.
Time to finish up this small collection. To recap, I bought a small envelope of photos from an eBay seller in Japan. Do they all come from the same source, or are they just a bunch of random snapshots packaged together? Anyway, I didn't see any people showing up in multiple images, so I'm going with random. This is the one thing I keep wondering. How many of these photos were taken before the war, and how many after. Considering how many Japanese citizens died in the war, it's likely that at least some of the pre-war photos show people who were dead within four or five years. And a lot of people in these photos are pretty young. The bottom photo in the column is of schoolgirls. Click on Random Japanese Snapshots Collection in labels to see all the photos in the collection.
