Unprocessed rolls of film recently discovered in old cameras (mainly early 20th century), processed and on display here:

Love 'em... It is a bit strange that I remember using some of those cameras... What a different time it was...

Spooky. Or is it just me? I mean, if the photos were just on some guy's family history web site, they'd just be old photos. But old, unclaimed, forgotten photos... *shudder*

didnt think of them much at first .. but the more i looked, the more intrigued i got ....before i knew it, ive seen every single photo on the website ..
i just kept on thinking about the lifes of those people back then .. in a different time, and a different place ... and i thought about how the camera survived all those years and ended up in the photographers hands .. and of the people in the photographs .. a family member might be looking at those photos right now, and not know it..
kinda fills you up with this strange feeling of nostalgia. |

Nice concept and a nice set of photos. I would have preferred it if he didn't kill the pictures with his writing though... I want to make up my own mind about what they mean!

Well you can - just ignore his writings - I did.  I rather enjoyed gazing at these photos and wondering, "What were these people person really like? How did they start their day? Who did they interact with? What joys and miseries did they know?"
