Your second chance at once in a lifetime photos


After sitting in a cardboard box for over 50 years these great negatives have once again seen the light of day. The brother in-law of an antique store owner found them in a house he bought; and I found them in the antique store. Photography is my hobby and I enjoy using old cameras. Sometimes I find old rolls of film in the cameras with snapshots of times long ago. Some of the pictures are truly wonderful and I know the families would cherish them today; but there's rarely any history to go with those old rolls of film. They're found in antique stores or flea markets and no one knows where they came from. It seems like such a shame.
