Title: Old family photos
Post by: Varche on 11 January 2016, 12:06:43
We have spent some enjoyable time over the last few weeks looking at old family photos.

Only any good if there is someone around today - who, what and where?

I made my dad write details on the back of each one he looked at.

Anyone else got boxes of undocumented photos!?

When my parents moved abroad they left me a bunch of postcards written and photos taken by my grandad on his travels around europe post-war.  5 Years worth!  It is taking me a long time to sort them out.

The next generation won't have this problem, as no one will have the box of old photos because who bothers to print photos these days?  ::)  :-\

Yes.  :y  I was asked the other day by two very attractive girls if I would take their photo.  I of course was very obliging and took the photo.  :y 

When I handed the camera back, she pulled out the photo out of the bottom and when I remarked that I hadn't seen one of those for a while, she replied that they were probably a lot more common in 'your day'.....  I instantly felt about 90....  :( :( :(

Bitch!  :D :D :D  ;D ;D ;D
