Sepia Saturday - Three Guys


The Sepia Saturday suggestion this week has three guys posing for a photograph. Well, you'd think that would be an easy one.

The LOST GALLERY has over four hundred photographs featuring three people. A large percent of those are snaps of three women and there are plenty photographs of mixed trios.

But it turns out there are very few photographs in LOST GALLERY that show three guys posing for an amateur snapshot and even fewer in a professional photographer's studio.

So here on one page, are all the photographs showing three men posing that could be found within the LOST GALLERY walls.

Note that in many of these snaps, the guys look ill-at-ease, out of their element. They often can't just stand in a line, they have to be working or showing off or just doing something stupid.

THE KIDS Lesson one. It is always a mystery 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.

  1. "Three Guys" sounds like a name for a TV comedy program.

    1. Thanks Postcardy. Could be! I think there was a Three Men and a Baby movie.

  2. Great post! The 3 little guys in their cowboy hats look so cute. The photo of the 3 older fellows in the photo next to them could almost be the same 3 youngsters grown up. Are they?

    1. Thanks La Nightingail. The three little guys in cowboy outfits is my favorite. It is not very likely they are related to anyone else on the page. The photograph of the three guys stuffed in a photobooth next to them is older than the photograph of the little guys.

  3. Everyone is a trifecta of triplets! I think you;ve also got every combination of manly trios - brothers; dads and sons; soldier/sailor mates; boss and underlings.
    However the three just above the last buffalo trio look like women cross-dressing as men. Something about their faces and the cut of their cuffs. Perhaps they are garbed for some very dirty farm chore like picking potatoes or butchering a hog.

    1. Thanks Mike Brubaker. I tried to assemble a wide variety of trio photographs. Yes, I wondered about that one too. The one on the left end is especially suspicious.

  4. I never expected to see so many variations as this. To finish up with men with buffaloes was pure genius.

    1. Thanks Bob Scotney. There were more than I expected in that category. Most of the trios that I have are women.

  5. Well I just LOVE those little buckaroos! And the three below of questionable sex obviously have the same tailor.

    1. Thanks Tattered and Lost. Yes, the little cowboys are being very patient with the photographer who has interrupted their play. And those other three I just can't decide about.

  6. The 'three men in a field' photo makes me sad. They look so poor. But when you zoom in they seem to have contented faces. As always, when I see a photo like this I wonder at the circumstances of it being taken.

    1. Thanks Boobook. Yes, it is difficult to avoid wondering about the circumstances there and the reason for the photograph. We will never know.

  7. Three always seems to be a popular number when it comes to photographs doesn't it?

    1. Thanks Alan Burnett. Yes, early in the process of collecting abandoned photographs, I had to start grouping them into sets that would help locate them when needed. Trios were clearly a strong category.

  8. You did very well for someone with a shortage of theme pictures! Did I see The Three Amigos in there?

    1. Thanks Little Nell. It was surprising to me how seldom three guys appeared in found photographs, compared to pictures of three women. There were almost ten times as many. And yes! I bet that is the Three Amigos!

  9. Great photos, they all feel like they have a great story behind them.

    1. Thanks Anna. Sometimes an abandoned photograph just speaks, doesn't it? I'm sure most of them do have quite a story.
