Found Photographs

Its a cat but it must have moved its head during exposure because it has an extra eye.

What I love about this one is the track with wheel and hoof ruts and bicycle.

I acquired several hundred 4X5 negs that belonged to a local photographer who recently passed away. He did most of his work from the 40's through the 70's. Nothing particular good, just simple documentation of the local area and it's inhabitants.
As I looked through the negs with a magnifier, trying to decide what was worthy of scanning, I recognized a couple faces.

This one, of some scouts heading out on a bus trip (late 1950's or early 60's). The boy near the far right (indicated by the yellow arrow) is a good friend of mine (fellow camera collector), now in his early 60's. He had never seen this picture before.




This one (below), from the mid 70's, shows the dedication of the corner stone during the construction of our local Masonic Lodge. The fellow seen in the background, shooting pictures with a 35mm camera, is another friend of mine, and fellow member of our camera collectors club. He had never seen this picture either.

Bryan,

I think the site you mentioned is www.westfordcomp.com. He recently posted photos from a roll of Verichrome Pan he found and developed.
