There is something lovely about found photos, I think. And something a little bit sad. The lovely is imagining the people in the images in their real lives, with their family or friends, doing things they like to do. The sad is wondering why the photos were lost in the first place, and whether their owners are awaiting their return. Perhaps if they don’t even know their Kodachrome moments have fallen into the hands of others. Others who are imagining who they are and what they like to do. Spooky-great.

Today we’re visiting mysterious people’s holiday photos. These photos perfectly capture the essence of days off. Perhaps they capture it EVEN MORE than unfound photos, because we stare at them looking for clues, memories and hints about the life within? Do you think that is true?

Which is your fave? Did you ever bury someone in the sand (in a non homicidal way?) Do you want to go water skiing?

    Got to admit to finding these a little poignant, but maybe that’s my melancholy tendencies showing…..
