Unknown Family

Unknown Family. 15 years ago, he found a box of 44 negatives at a garage sale in Aiken, SC, and after wondering about them for a long time, posted them to Flickr in October 2008 in hopes of learning who the family is. There are a few clues, but the search seems to have gone cold. Some (most?) of the pictures have been narrowed down to Delaware in the late 30's to early 40's, but other than that, only the names "Ellie & Herb" account for any of these people. They seem to be taken by either a professional, or a skilled amateur with access to a very nice camera.

Montreal Expo 1967, through the eyes of Lillian Seymour is a giant pile of found photos scanned in by our very own clockwork. There is much to see in this time capsule of 1967 taken by this person. The women of Poland, interesting architecture, and quite possibly the scariest clown ever (I bet that kid required years of therapy). [via mefi projects]
