There are often strips of three found abandoned. The photobooth dispensed four photographs in a strip. The best one was cut out and the rest packed away or thrown away.
There are now more than 4,000 photographs in the Lost Gallery.

It is always a mystery to us how a photograph of any of these precious children could end up lost or abandoned. Here are a few. You will probably say "Ooh..." at least once.
Dee and the Business School 
The beautiful Dee. A curious story, What do you see?
WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?

I could get lost in the Lost Gallery. This is a wonderful collection. it almost makes me want to abandon postcards and collect photo booth pictures instead, but I rarely see them. It must have taken you a long time to collect all of these.
ReplyDeleteThanks very much for your comment.
ReplyDeleteI just got into rescuing other people's photographs a few years ago but I have always felt a need to preserve photographs. A camera is our only time machine.
I’m glad you enjoy the photobooth shots. I find them often at the bottom of the box in the flea markets. They are so small they sort of filter down there. That’s why so many collectors miss them. I like to gather them because they so often suggest funny captions.
That’s easy! Collecting post cards is HARD! There are so MANY! It’s an art form all to itself.
