I'm doing found photo stuff again, this time I bought a projector and it came with 3 cases of slides: https://cohost.org/Found-Photos?page=0 So I also thought we should have a found photo thread. Digital, film, slides, whatever, I don't care. Here's some stuff from the latest batch I scanned

I have a huge box of negatives of all different sizes going back something like a hundred years. I've been picking away at scanning them: https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjB9Ckm Scan-20240113-41 by Tom Rintjema, on Flickr Scan-20240110-137 by Tom Rintjema, on Flickr Scan-20240110-130 by Tom Rintjema, on Flickr Scan-20240110-117 by Tom Rintjema, on Flickr

Someone pointed me to the thread and I thought I'd drop by and post some of my finds! There's a flea market here in Greece that's mostly made up of things people throw in the trash and it's been breaking my heart seeing 100 year old photos get thrown away when they don't sell or get destroyed by rain, so I've been buying them up. Egyptian Greek woman, Kairo, 1941. Portrait, Athens. Greek Costume, postcard, 1959. Photographer: Emm. Diacakis

Fantastic stuff, I really love the (probably 30s - 40s) soft focus portrait there.

These are pretty unremarkable but I enjoy them for historical purposes. First one is the Seattle skyline circa 1960. Smith tower is the tallest building around. No space needle, no cranes. This one is maybe on a tv set? Or a stage show of some sort. Either way, looks like there’s a dream sequence about to happen.

I love the VW dealership and the second last one. Great stuff. I edited them a little bit, black and white points to the edges then clicked around with a grey point until it looked right to me Megabound fucked around with this message at 04:19 on Mar 8, 2024 |

All of my found film has come from undeveloped rolls in ancient cameras from ebay or thrift shops. Developing the stuff can be challenging and the results are often... bittersweet. This was some Tri-X from an ebay purchase. Whoever that kid may be, they're at least 15 years older than I am at this point.

Also antique fairs will often have people selling slides and plates that I'll pick up if they look interesting. I help run Brisbane's biggest (and only) camera fair and I'll be keeping an eye out for slides and negs there too.

I love that stuff. I made a new friend last night who has approx 500 slides I'll be digitising, all her mother's photos taken while she and her ex husband toured Australia in the 60s (it might be 80s). I'm super excited.
