"Found This Photo Strip Of My Late Aunt’s Parents While Cleaning Out Her Old Storage Unit"
"I posted this pic on another sub previously, but I figure it would be appropriate here as well. Last summer I got the last of my aunt’s things moved out of the storage unit we’d rented for her when she moved into my family’s home in the last year of her life. I uncovered a ton of old photos that I’d never seen before, and this is by far my favorite. These lovely folks are my aunt’s (really my grandpa’s cousin, but I called her my aunt) parents, Libby and Ted, I believe sometime in the 1830s. Ted was my Grandpa’s uncle. I sadly never met him, as he passed long before I was born, but Libby lived to be 100 and had all her wits about her until she had a stroke shortly before she passed. I love how joyful and unserious these photos are, and I am so glad to have pictures that capture their personalities like this. I only wish I had found it while my aunt was still alive. I really regret not asking her more about our family history when I had the chance."

"This one was my favorite so far. Most of the slides / pics were taken around 1968. I can upload more, if anyone is interested (and with a better angle). Almost every slide I have viewed so far has this dog in it no matter what's going on in the rest of the photo!"

I remember buying an old postcard from the very early 20th century showing my hometowns main square. There was a young lad on a bicycle rushing over it. The wheels of his bike were oval due to his speed and the cameras shutter. I still have said postcard and think of this young lad maybe rushing to his girlfriend during lunch break for a kiss. It got me into dry plate photography.
