Album Page - Activity at the Campground



Occasionally some photographs are discovered in a junk shop pile that seem to be related. Sometimes an intact album is found with pictures that obviously go together.

LOST GALLERY will present these little sets on separate pages so the relationship can be seen.

Here is one such group.

Tent tete-a-tete.
These four snapshots came from the same pile of cast away photographs. Do you think they are related?

Enhancement - Looking for Lost Details

For some, an old photograph loses its charm when "restored" to modern day clarity with all the age spots removed. Some photographs however, benefit greatly from just a nudge of enhancement. An improved contrast or the reversal of the yellowing brings out details that otherwise would have been missed and lost forever.

To please both camps of those of us who rescue old photographs, here are both the originals and the enhanced of just a few of the latest additions to Lost Gallery.

Back Page - C'est La Guerre - Page Two



Bombs


There's a LOST GALLERY page called
OUR MAN AT THE FRONT.
It is for those photographs of a person in a uniform, posing alone probably in a back yard or on a porch at home.

There is another page called
A GIRL AND HER GUY IN UNIFORM.
That page is for a couple posing together, one of them in an armed services uniform.

This is the second LOST GALLERY page called
C'EST LA GUERRE
with all war related found photographs.

Throughout the Lost Gallery there is an occasional snapshot that is about one of the wars, sometimes just a soldier posing in a uniform. Some are taken at war fronts; others at training bases. Sometimes they seem unrelated to the rest in their album or set. Usually they are unidentified in any way.

C'EST LA GUERRE is a category just for those photographs.

Perhaps you will see something familiar here.
