fayettebelle-Thanks for stopping by. I'm glad you like that photo as much as I do. While it was indeed sad that someone would let their family photos end up in an antique store, I was glad that I could buy them and put them online thereby saving them forever. I'll be posting the rest of the photos that I ended up with soon on my FLICKR account, so check that out when you get the chance.
I have a friend who collects old wedding pix, mostly from the 40's and before, US and Europe.
I, to my great good fortune, have a plethora of family photos. The oldest from the turn of the 20th century. A large part of my family were of the ScotsIrish immigration through the South and had to fight their ways up from poverty to even be able to afford a portrait.
I can't help but imagine true life stories around your abandoned photos.
I wondered where that damn picture went. I tossed it out because just as Mrs Rock was snapping the picture, some bozo with a kid walked in front of her. It was the last picture on the roll and we were out of film. Oh, you can keep it.
This photo was in that box of stuff I bought the other day at an antique store. I don't know if I could love it more than I do now.

I know what you mean. I feel the same way about it. Please frame it. It's perfect.
I just love that photo. It's really great that there's a time stamp on the edge of the print.
I'm really not spamming your blog. you just caught my imagination before my tiny little span of attention kicked in =)
What a sweet moment in someone's life and how poignant that their loss is our gain.
Thanks for sharing.

I like to buy old yearbooks at sales and I always wonder how people can get rid of this stuff.

I adore looking at old family photos of people I don't know and that one is a real cracker.
That is a great photo. Kind of makes you wonder who got rid of it and why.
This is so beautiful. A little gift from the past...
