Leona & Bob


 

Written on the back, "Leona & Bob and the Magil family.  San Mateo 1952."   Fascinating.  The Magil family appear to be Latino.

Cowboy Burt


  

This is a make-good for my last post.  That one was probably shot in 2024, written on the back of this one, "Burt about 1913."  Before I became fascinated by photos from all eras, my collecting was mostly images that were at least 100 years old.  This photo started as a real photo postcard that was cut down to a smaller size.

Summertime Santa


  

Another example of true found photography.  I walked over the hill to Hollywood yesterday, and there this was, just lying on the street.  It's a little weird to post a photo that is probably less than six months old, but then I tell myself that the 100-year-old snapshots that get posted were once less than six months old.

The Trips Album 7


 




I'm going crazy with this one.  For some reason, Blogger isn't working the way it has in the past.  Oh well, it is what it is.  The top two photos in the column are dated "JAN 74."  Click on The Trips Collection in labels to see what has been posted.
