A young Wilford Brimley plies his wares at the annual horse race wherein everyone got hammered and no one actually watched the horses Sure, having three young girls in your trunk was "cute" back then, but I do it now and busybody judges get involved. As I've said before, never get into a fight with a train; you'll lose and the train won't even know there was a fight. Dad actually knew these two; they lived across a lake from a childhood friend of his, and the male half of the couple was quite the screeching rear end in a top hat who would come flying down the driveway if anyone even approached within 100 feet of his property line, and his girlfriend was a much younger, timid thing. Showing this to my father earlier this year, I heard him mumble "yell at everybody now, you mouthy bastard" at the monitor. Hit by a car? Fat Cop don't Give a gently caress. Loading docks are a great place for nappin' Everyone in this photo died of dysentery shortly thereafter. They're in a mass grave outside of town. Some say that if you visit at night, the the scent of peperony and chease can be detected on the breeze. You expect to find certain things in your dad's photos; an apparently time-travelling Craig Robinson is not one of them White people. Another in the "landscapes I dig" series A young North Carolinian destined for Great Things ...and two cars behind her, living, breathing proof that the Throne of the Lord sits empty My dad's best pal, circa 1974. This is apparently how they spent their weekends. And he says I wasted *my* youth. I leave you with some interesting negative damage that I couldn't clean off, which just so happened to be on a photo of two super rad dudes.

A change of pace due to the fact that I've caught up my scanning for now (the 4 boxes packed with 1996 and 1997 in the garage still looming over me like a thundercloud), and the fact that I skeeved his 2004-2015 photo archive off his PC over christmas. Apologies that these are newer, but I think some of them are interesting at least. From March 2008, I was shocked he never told me about this one. Though given his political leanings, I shouldn't be surprised. Though hard to see at the resolution I shrank it to, a certain affable peanut farmer returned to town for a funeral a few years ago. As you can probably guess by the glowering sunglassed men, the Secret Service wouldn't allow him any closer. Talk about your undignified exits; two WWII vets nearly get backed over by an idiot in a Suburban during the St Patrick's Day Parade. Sorry "20 $ DOG", you lose today (subsequent shots show they're on a traffic median, not actually in the street) From the same parade, a kid that doesn't give a gently caress. I have no clue why there was a serious altercation over flowers, but here we are. Random/Weird People Being People North Carolinians understand. Alocholic North Carolinians will understand In case you missed it, that's 4 cases of Busch stacked up on that DUIcycle Dad is not above a cheap joke when it falls in his lap. Nor tugging at the ol heartstrings. Cat Tax? Merry Belated Xmas Goonz

Here's some WWII-era photos. My grandfather, on Normandy not long after D-Day. He didn't participate in the invasion, but best research I can come up with (he didn't talk much about the war) was that he was in counterintelligence and was in the Battle of the Bulge before taking the city of Cologne.

I found some old negatives over the Christmas break and tried to save a few of them; There were a bunch of these photos like this of my ma and uncle at some catholic retreat. I guess visiting these places is what you did for fun when you were in the back-arse nowhere in Irleand in the late 60s. I think this one is a picture of my uncle, my grandad was in the Irish Air Corps and these were their training planes.

My dad never touched a camera but my mom loved to take photos, I just found some negs that I didn't even know we had, I thought we left em all when we moved to Canada. There's some weird yellow gunk on some of it though, how do I best clean these?

My scanning pace has slowed way down, and the mid-90s aren't as interesting, but still some stuff of interest. Once upon a time, before NASCAR was the gleaming behemoth devoid of personality that it is today, small town newspaper press passes could still get you into the infield. Pictured: goddamn american hero bahgawd Pictured: the Fastest Man Alive Finding this little series delighted me; a brush fire breaks out in a local trailer park. The residents come out and use a rake (useful for brush fires, but not the way this guy is using it) and brooms and mops to fight it. The fire department showed up eventually as did this magnificent sonofabitch, clad only in boxer shorts and a shower cap From the "People Being People" file The Landscape file And the "landscape only I could care about because this was once a beautiful spot for stargazing, and now 20 years later it's a subdivision" file: EDIT: And this one isn't old, it's from a house fire this past March, but I like it. ...he turned out okay IIRC Rev.

Really nice thread. I scanned some of my belated grandparents prints earlier this year, that some of you might enjoy. My grandfather was working for some time on Svalbard, here my grandmother is visiting him. Grandfather in front of some Svalbard mountain. Grandfather in his Svalbard office. My personal favorite of these. Grandfather and grandmother cozying up. Grandfather and my mother, some time in the 70's New Year's Eve sometime in the 70's These are my favorites, I have a few more if people are keen.

I am really happy I found this thread. There is some amazing stuff in here. I am way dad old myself by most of your standards (50) and I am planning to send my dad's slides out for scanning in the next few weeks. They're just family pics, nothing as cool as the photojournalist stuff in this pro thread, but if anything is cool I'll post it.
