r/FoundPhotos

can anyone tell me anything about what’s sticking out the boys pocket or tell me anything that comes to mind about this photo?

I believe the boy was my grandfather who was born in 1940. I’m not certain of the location of this photo, possibly weed California or somewhere else

Taking a break from scanning. This set is a mix from different finds. The last picture in this series is probably one of my first found photos!

**Update:
So my aunt Debbie was says this picture was actually taken in Germany about 1965 or 1966. That would have made him 23 or 24.

I’m getting ready to frame it. 24/36 print. He was stationed in Hawaii at the time from what I’ve gathered.

These are a few 1957/1958 slides I recently scanned. The first slide is from a dorm X-mas party.

Hello! I've just bought this old portrait and I am very curious about it. I want to find out more about it and maybe someone here can help. I wonder who this man is and who the artist was. The signature doesn't help too much, I can't really read the name. Can someone recognise something and tell me more about it? I think it's an old portrait made in german POW camps and I also sense something gay about it, maybe a hidden story or something. I know it's a very basic portrait but I like it so much, there's something I feel attracted to. And I really want to find out its story. 1945 is written on it so there are chances some people from their life could be still alive. I'm curious about your thoughts.

Don't put Fujifilm Instax photos in your mouth, apparently.

Found a photo album on top of a dumpster in the alley behind my house (Chicago, West Town). The first page is bonkers; the rest is pretty boring by comparison.

This was my great grandmother's mom. My great grandmother was raised being told she died of cancer, but was told she was murdered later in life, with not much detail. Recently one of her distant nephews uploaded her picture and the article of her death on a ancestory website shedding light what happened. Apparently a rejected lover of hers didn't approve of her male boarder roommate and he went to their place and shot the boarder and a stray bullet hit her stomach killing her. The boarder managed to run to a nearby hospital and survived, while the attacker ended up turning the gun on himself and committed suicide. All around very tragic.

Found in the UK alongside a lot of other (much older) photos and documents. I think this might be an American summer camp. Could be wrong but based on other things found, the previous owner had a lot of American family connections. And I just don’t get a British vibe from these photos. These are the most recent ones. Not pictured but I do have a list of names for each photo, so if you think you recognise anyone I can check.

I found this photo in a dorm room at Dartmouth College around 2018. I’d love to return the photo to whoever lost it. Anyone know these people?

This roll was found in a camera bag I bought in a thrift store. Looks like late 80's or early 90's? I think it's the Botanic Garden in Meise, Belgium.

Dated 2019 on the back

Recently found this in a dumpster in Waukesha, WI. Was tucked into a collection of old model train magazines. There was an address on a large envelope, will share it if that's allowed.

We found a little point-and-shoot camera at the Detroit-area airshow in early 90s (can’t remember exactly what year). I remember my parents tried their best to find the owners but ultimately ended up keeping the camera. These photos were on the film when we developed it. We always felt bad about it, maybe now 30 years later the magic of the internet can help find the owners????? It does look like a Michigan lake house area but I have no idea!
