Here’s another photo that I am placing around the 1920s. I am assuming the couple just got married. And, they are now posing for their first photo as man and wife.
I believe this is a studio photo but I guess the location could be someone’s home.
The only identifying mark on the photo is the studio stamp. The photo was taking by Gorzycki in Bay City, Michigan. I think the other part reads: 2249 E. Grant Sts.
What do you think?
Until next time…peace
I am assuming this young lady was photographed for communion. I am placing the photo around the 1920s.
The photo does not have any identifying marks. The only clue is the name of the studio: Frank Harper Studio at 7719 Harper Ave.
Many of the other photos from this lot were from the Detroit area. There is a Harper Ave in Detroit. But I can only guess that this was the place of the studio.
What do you think?

Happy July! I can’t believe it is July already! This year is moving by so fast.
I spent a little time photographing the Osprey this last weekend. I know this isn’t the best photo, but if you look closely at the female Osprey. (She’s the one looking upward). You can see the baby right under her. I only saw one this year. Last year, there were two. And, yes, the male kept staring at me the whole time.
When I photograph this pair of Osprey, I am very far away. I use a large lens to capture the photo. I only stay a few minutes then I leave. I do not want to bother them. Because I want them to keep coming back.
Until next time…peace
I pulled these images from slides. I was surprised to find them in my recent estate sale purchase. The previous owner did a lot of traveling. Most of the slides are focused on the trips. I admit, I love seeing their adventures. And, my bucket list is getting a lot of great ideas.
But these slides were focused on the aftermath of a tornado in Clinton County, Michigan.
Each slide has handwriting on them. In pencil are the date, event, and location. The tornado took place in August 1946 in St. Johns, Michigan.
A couple of the slides had extra details like Rudy’s trailer.
The broken trees were on Clinton Ave. I found this interesting. My grandfather lived on Clinton Ave. for years.
There’s no further identifying information on the next three slides.
The sign in the rubble reads, welding. Perhaps, the name on the business sign is Gary.
A lot of people showed up to help.
The next two slides are labeled, “Aunt Nellie’s house”.
I am assuming the lady with the flowered dress is Aunt Nellie.
Tornadoes leave a path of debris and destruction. I am hoping no one was hurt in this event.
I am hoping someone out there can provide more information on this tornado. I did a little research but did not find a lot of information. If I come across my slides from this event, I will definitely post them.
Until next time…peace
I purchased a large box of 8×10 photos. All the images are beautiful wedding photos. This image is tucked inside a larger folder. The bottom of the top matte reads Agdanowski Studio, Bay City. Unfortunately, there’s no year on the photo. Based on the style of clothing, I would guess early 1920s.
I love the bride’s dress. I wish I could see the color of the flowers. Everyone looks so proper and fine for the wedding day. I think the bridesmaid resembles the bride. I wonder if they are sisters.
What do you think?
Until next time…peace
I picked up a box of photos yesterday from an auction sale. I believe this one is a communion photo. Please correct me if I am wrong.
The photo gives the year: 1925.
The photographer: Frank J. Gorzycki
Location: 7719 Harper Ave., Detroit, Michigan. (I was curious. I researched the location on Google Maps. But, the building is no longer there.)
Unfortunately, there is no name or other identifying information on the photo.
Let me know, your view of the photo.
Until next time…peace.
Did you have a fun-filled Labor Day weekend? I stuck close to home. I worked on photos, writing, and housework. I know, an odd combination.
I did go for a ride. I came across these beautiful Turkey Vultures. The one kept opening his (or her) wings. I believe the bird was trying to soak up the sun.
I am fascinated with these birds. My mom use to love them. She said, they were so ugly, they were beautiful. Of course, I find everything in nature has a touch of beauty.
Well, have a good night.
Until next time…peace
I probably spend way too much time photographing spiders, insects, etc. But watching this mama spider was intriguing.
I believe she is a Wolk Spider. But I am not positive.
What do you think?
Until next time…peace
Today is Lake Superior Day. I am from Michigan. I did not know this day existed. But, I love visiting the shorelines of Lake Superior, especially at White Fish Point.
Whitefish Point was one of my mom’s favorite destinations. She loved looking through all the rocks. To me, the place is just beautiful.
Do you have a favorite place to stop on the shores of Lake Superior? Let me know in the comments!
Until next time…peace
