Lost film.




I was procrastinating my fiction writing and came across a website put together by a guy who collects old undeveloped and lost film.
Maybe its just me but I loved looking at these pictures. The guys commentary is pretty lame, but the pictures themselves are enough.

It's sort of haunting. I really like it. You can't help wondering who they were and what their lives were about.

It so true. I was looking for inspiration, and I'm sure that there are hundreds of stories here.

Sarah Hayes brought to my attention that the comments for this particular set of photos are in fact amazing, I agree.

Wow...that one set is really interesting...looks like they were taken in Italy and then it progresses to a boat with people in beds (wounded soldiers going home?) and then to pictures of home, children, and houses being built. The story of a life told with no words. Beautiful. Thanks.
