Found-Photos
This account is for posting physical negatives or photographs I've found, digitized, and (in some cases) done minor digital restoration to. I include any information I have about a photograph when posting it, but that is typically very little.

Accidental double exposures are fun. This almost looks like the camera started to fall mid-photo and the subject was running over to catch it. Scanned from the original Kodak 116/616 negative. Photographer, date, and location unknown.
