As I've mentioned before, I sometimes buy envelopes full of old photos. Usually, I really want two or three images and I'm left with a number of photos, some pretty nice, but not something I'd go out of my way to buy. Probably from the thirties or forties.
I don't know why these people are in a party mood, but whatever the reason, it clearly involves lots of alcohol. There are bottles everywhere. There's' a processor's stamp on the back, "PIXIE SNAP JUNE 1952"
This is a strange little photo. Not because of the woman sitting in the foreground, but because of the tripods in the background. Lights, camera, action?
Once again, and for the last time, a visit to our visually limited family. In the first of the three posts, this little girl was seen without her glasses. I grew up in a poorish part of the country, and for a lot of kids, if they needed glasses and their parents couldn't afford them, well too damn bad. Click on The Specs Collection in labels to bring up all three parts.
Like yesterday's post, one man, two women. I think we can tell which woman is with the man. I hope the photographer handed off the camera and got a shot of himself with his girlfriend.
I'd be surprised if this wasn't taken during World War 2. But where? Family visiting San Diego before their son or brother went to sea, or a couple of women the sailor met in Hawaii? When there's one man and two women, the photo is almost always taken by the boyfriend of one of the ladies, so girlfriends are probably the better of two explanations.
