Here is my follow-up post about a found disposable camera. Someone wanted to see the originals. I don't think I included all the pics from the first post and may have even added one excluded from the original post. I know it won't satisfy all the paranoids out there, but I don't care. Just hoping to find these very real people in the pics.

Found inside a book about the Holocaust (Toni by Toni Ungerer) No markings or date, the photo paper is labeled “Mitsubishi Electric”

My family and I rented an Airbnb in Vegas recently and we found an old disposable camera that expired in 2014 in a "lost-and-found" type cupboard. I brought it home and got the film developed. The pics were in rough shape, but i ran them through AI and they came out looking good. Big Brother says they were taken between 2007-2012, at Niagara Falls, due to landmarks and clothing worn. Would be great if the owners were found. Would love to hear the story about how a disposable camera with pictures from Niagara Falls ended up in a rental home in Vegas 14 years later.

As you may remember I'm working on my hobby website, where I scan old negatives from different part of the world.
Today I would like to share with you some photo that I find interesting, I hope you'll like them.

I just moved into a 1850 farm house in Wisconsin, I’ve been find all sort of trinkets and oddities. A picture of this gentleman is in a two seater outhouse on the property. I don’t have a better closer picture to show you right now but any one know the approximate age? I don’t really want to move him, feels like he’s here for a reason but I’d like to preserve it in its current condition as well

I apologize for the low-quality photo. The previous family that had these photos didn't care to keep them nice or keep them away from other relatives who would draw on them or try to color in something. I do know if he's who I think he could be, his last name is Lauda, and he had at least 10-13 siblings, if not more. I'm going to work on restoration and colorization later on but for now I'd just like to know about his story.

My family came from the Basque region between France and Spain. My great-grandmother received her baptism in France as did her family. My great-grandfather had his ceremonies in Spain, but they lived in the Basque region. Just telling this to give more context.

This photo was found framed, in the basement of a town house I began renting in Chicago in 1992. I cannot remember if the frame was hanging on the wall or lying on a shelf.

The original photo was 10" by 7" and the quality was quite dark. I had to lighten the image up a bit so one could see more detail.

I do not recognize the park, and I am not even sure that this is Chicago, although the area is certainly flat enough to be Illinois.

I assume that this is a piece of artillery behind the people.

Note that there is a child standing on this piece of artillery behind the central woman.

I have a few first names as clues. If you recognize anyone please let me know! Would love to return these (and many more) to the family.

I was going through some old camera bags and found an SD card, on it were several years (2008-2010) worth of family photos and videos from a family I don't recognize. How these cards found their way into my things is beyond me. The photos and videos are mostly of their young children, family vacations and holidays all special memories I would love to return to them. They seemed to be from Colorado, possibly Adams County or Fort Lupton (at least at the time the photos where taken). I'll include a couple photos of the adults if anyone recognizes them.

From my found slide collection

I found several boxes of original color slides from the 1970s in an abandoned dumpster. This one shows Klaipėda (Memel back then) — Lithuania‘s only seaport.

What makes this place interesting is that after WWII, the city lost its entire pre-war population and was resettled almost from scratch . Most of the old churches were demolished during the Soviet era — today you won‘t find a single church in the Old Town . The historical perimeter of where St. John’s Church once stood is now just an empty lawn marked by bushes.

Klaipėda‘s Old Town is the only one in Lithuania without a single church — all were demolished during the Soviet era .

The city lost 100% of its pre-war population and was resettled from scratch .

For 501 years (1422–1923), the border near Memel was one of the longest unchanged borders in Europe .

Klaipėda is unique in the former USSR for developing its own architectural style — now called 'Klaipėdic' — using red clay bricks
