Over the years, I have worked on many photos, negatives, and films. Some photos I just can’t help but wonder about the back story. Who was this person? Where was this photo taken?
The Man in the Doorway is one of those photos. I am assuming, the photo was taken on a military base. He appears in other photos that would corroborate this guess. But unfortunately, that is all the information I have.
What do you think?
Until next time…peace
I am continuing with the slides marked Virginia, October 1947. The three slides I am sharing today are from Radford, Virginia. I could not find the exact location of these photos or perhaps the place no longer exists.
I would be grateful if someone out there could point me in the right direction.
Have a good night.
Until next time…peace
The photo is a digital copy of an old slide. I purchased a large lot through an auction. I have slowly been going through them.
This slide did not have any information. However, some of the other slides mention Hawaii. I am assuming this photo was taken there. What do you think?
Do you think it looks like Hawaii? Let me know in the comments.
Until next time…peace
Next to wildlife photography, vintage or old photos are my favorite. I have people sending me old negatives and photos. Because they know how much I adore vintage photography. And they were just going to throw them out.
The image I restored, shows a posing couple. Unfortunately, I do not have any other information.
I assume this was a special occasion or a moment after church service.
What do you think?
Until next time…peace
In my opinion, the photo looks like the last day of school or a field trip. What do you think?
I do not have any information on the photo itself. If you look closely at the border, the words, “Moen-Tone” are printed on all four corners.
After a little research, I found an ad for Moen-Tone photo services from a May 1, 1937, Farmer’s Wife issue.
I cannot guarantee the photo was printed through this company. But I do know many other photos from this auction purchase are from Wisconsin.
What do you see when you view this image?

This image was part of an estate sale purchase. Unfortunately, I do not have any information on the name of the little girl or the exact location of the photo.
The photo does have a date and printing service stamp.
March 24, 1944
Brown Photo Service
Minneapolis, Minn.
There’s snow in the background of the photo. I assume the photo was taken in the spring. Perhaps around Easter, the girl and her baby doll appear to be dressed up. Maybe they were heading out to church or dinner.

This image was part of an estate sale. Unfortunately, I do not have any names or an exact location for this photo.
The image is stamped on the back with Brown Photo Service, Minneapolis, Minn., May 4, 1944.
I think the image is of a father with his two sons. Of course, one of his sons is in the military. The other one appears too young for the service.
The date stamp lets me know the photo was taken during WWII. I assume the military man was either home on leave or just entering his military service.
What is your opinion? What do you see when you look at the image? I would love to know the real story behind the photo. I also wonder if the young man came home safe after the war.
Until next time…peace.
I like this photo. I do not know the couple or have any information about the photo. But they look happy. I am assuming they are married. They appear to be in dress clothes.
Perhaps, they are on their way to church or a wedding. I might have to colorize this photo at a later date. I am really curious about the pattern and color of her dress.
What do you think?
Until next time…peace
As usual, I am guessing, the couple is celebrating an anniversary. I love the simplicity of the celebration. A card table and a cake, what else do you need? In my mind, they are surrounded by loved ones while celebrating this milestone anniversary. Maybe a 50th or 60th anniversary, but I cannot view the cake clearly.
I do have a couple of facts from the photo.
The photo was taken in July 1954.
The photo processing took place at:
Brown Photo Company
Minneapolis, Minnesota

I do have a little information on this photo. The back of the photo is stamped with the following:
Brown Photo Service
Minneapolis, Minn.
June 22, 1942
The two women are posing with flowers. I think the flowers are peonies. I wish I knew their names.
I guess, the women could be sisters. Or perhaps, mother and daughter. What do you think?
What do you see when ou look at the photo?
Until next time…peace
