Yeah... I have hundreds of old found photos I haven't scanned, I find it to be a very interesting collectable item, since our family photo archive is rather thin...
 
Sherlock, are some of these your family?

Like the folks in bathing suits?

Nope... <span style="font-style: italic">found</span> photos are ones that I acquire through various means, from antique vendors and stores, and other places...
 
You could totally add them to the family collection and then make up bizarre stories like, "this is your great grand uncle Johan, he ended up as a shrunken head in Papua New Guinea"

Hahahahah! that'd be great! It would be lots of fun to put together a totally bogus "family album".
Sherlock, I totally enjoyed looking through those pictures on Flickr. many of them are really fascinating.
What a neat collection.

:lol:

I only strive for the best in these old photos... Many people collect the old cabinet cards that are strictly formal portraiture, I prefer the ones that are more like snap shots that came out of family collections, they are so much fun and tell more of a story...
