All of Us Together

I found this photo on the floor of a bus. Nobody around to reclaim it. Wonder who are these women and children? Who lost it? It seems to be taken in Torpederas beach, Valparaíso, Chile. Says “year 1941″ on the back…”

Kools for Kids

A while back, I found a bunch of slide carousels. I don’t know who they belonged to originally, but some of the people appear in multiple slides, so that’s one clue. The dates are stamped on the slides and range from 1970 to 1979. Most are overseas vacation photos, but it’s the family photos which … Continued

The Mob

I tend a Little Free Library. We get a few things donated that are not books… Comics, CDs, VHS, Beanie Babies and this…I found a photo album that was empty except for way in the back was this picture. I hope most of them made it home… on the back it says the mob. Most … Continued

A Real Little Scot

Wal-Mart used to have a little plastic box that said FOUND PHOTOS. We used to take the ones that looked interesting. Here is one of my favorites. The back reads “A Real Little Scot.”

Don’t I Look Ambitious

At first, I thought it was in the tropics, but the landscape belies that. Perhaps it was taken @ a US … Continued

A Dapper Young Man

I found this picture in the Loew’s Theater parking lot on a rainy evening in September. He was looking up at me, so handsome and Victorian, and I had to save him from being completely destroyed. The photo is mounted on cardboard, and “Bergman’s Photograph Gallery, Louisville, KY” is printed on the back. The carboard … Continued

Bertha and Mom

Found this old school small square black and white photo of “Bertha and Mom” (so it states on the back) while walking to work the other day at the corner of S. Charles St. and Ostend St. in Federal Hill, Baltimore. It was in the gutter and had been driven over numerous times, but when … Continued

The Collar

I was waiting for my sister, who was at the DMV. I took a walk down Main Street and on my way back I saw this photograph on the ground. It hadn’t been there 15 minutes earlier. On the back it is dated 1977. It sure looks it, too.

Mung Dispenser

I’m guessing it was taken in the late ’60s and I couldn’t find any information about it besides a scrap of paper taped to it that read “Mung Dispenser.” That’s a whole lot of mung.
