Why didn’t people smile in old-timey photographs? Smiling meant something different back then.

A very grainy photo from 2009 from my time in Iceland.

My brother, about age 7, with his new puppy Queenie.
There is no love as sacred as that of a child for their puppy, nor of a puppy for their child.

This is an old #rppc #postcard that I bought at a shop in #Schenectady a couple of years back. Fascinated with it but never sure just what to do with it. It's a real photo postcard showing "Dick on Mohawk River at Schenectady in 1917 while working in G.E."
General Electric's main plant was very close to the #MohawkRiver, and I can attest that even decades later, the river was subject to some mighty freezes.

When I took this – or even ten years ago, for that matter – I could not have imagined that city newsstands would almost completely disappear someday. This is from November 1979, in downtown #SyracuseNY. His name was Pete Mussi, and he was a fixture there for decades. He's holding up the afternoon paper, because at the time a city the size of Syracuse could still support two newspapers.

Took this picture in 1977, and it fascinates me to this day. It just has that certain something, entirely by accident.

Hmm. Here's a closeup of the pin on his lapel. Doesn't mean anything to me. Has anyone seen this? Kind of looks like a stylized Greek Lambda .. maybe, or a bell-shaped graphic. Depending on whether you focus on the positive or negative. Could also be three (white) trees?

With help from my wife's eagle-eye for identifying faces, I think we've been able to move this photo out of the "unknown" bucket! I've always really liked this photo, and now I'm pretty sure it's my great-great-grandmother (not yet sure who the man is .. definitely not either of her husbands .. hmm)! Probably 1890-ish.
Old photos are so fun!
Does anyone know much about the Beardsley Studio in Charlotte, Michigan?

My great great aunt's house in West Glenville, NY, where I spent many summer days in the 1960s and '70s. While it had electricity, it did not have indoor plumbing. We had to draw water from the pump in this picture – drawn through shale, it was quite tasty (though the rag on the spout is to catch rust from the mechanism). After she died in 1985, the house was modernized and is not recognizable anymore.

Downtown #Schenectady NY, probably autumn 1977. A dreary day in what was then a dreary place, even though I loved it. The Proctor's Theatre on the left has survived and expanded, the old local department store hung on into the early '90s, everything else has changed. The buildings are mostly still there, and renovated. Looking at this I mostly remember how bad the air quality was.

I've looked at these #OldPhotos on and off for decades now, and their meaning comes and goes. I have long since forgotten the event itself, and would never have remembered it (me? at a pep rally? preposterous!) without the picture. It occurred to me today that I still know the young woman holding the leashed dog in this picture from 1977, and so I have just sent her, unbidden, this picture she has never seen before of her younger self.

1977: High school pep rally attendance was mandatory. A pep rally was also the place you'd be least likely to find me – school spirit has never been my thing – but I did take some pictures, apparently, in rare color. This is our senior class president for life getting outfitted in a balloon-covered clown outfit. #oldPhotographs #OldPhotos #FilmPhotography #HighSchool #1970s

Photographically, this is terrible, but it's an absolute moment in time, and that moment was 1982/83. It's me (in the center) with my roommate (left) and my other roommate and eventual wife (right). We were kinda adorable, even in the midst of an amount of misery. Absolutely kicking myself that when we got together for our 40th anniversary a couple of years ago, we didn't recreate this photo.

Still in 1977 – I found some pictures of someone who's been a friend since high school and she was delighted to see them. It eventually occured to me that I may never before have shared many of these pictures that I've looked at thousands of times over the years.
I'm fortunate that so many of my friends have been in my life, at one level or another, for so many, many years.

From my #highschool cafeteria in 1977: a friend of mine successfully stacks 10 waxed milk cartons on top of each other – a challenge, as the sides were never perfectly flat. This was one of many ways we killed time at lunch. #OldPhotographs #BWPhoto #filmPhotography #OldPhotos

John Cain bought a few surplus PBY Catalina flying boats after the end of WW2 and moored them on Stony Creek, near Newcastle, NSW, with plans to use them as floating holiday accommodation. The idea, alas, was too far ahead of its time.
