After scanning and uploading these images to flickr I have in the past transfered these cards to albums but it soon became clear that I would soon run out of space to store these so today I have purchased some storage boxes for my cards. This keeps them tidy and maybe in time I might be able to transfer to albums when I get some more space.
They look so much better in albums and are a joy to look through when I feel the need but as they say...needs must !
About Me
- Rob
- I have been collecting old postcards of the Isle of Wight for many years and it was quite by chance that during a search on ebay I discovered a real photographic card depicting a large group of family and friends on Ventnor beach. Taken around the 1920`s or early 1930`s by a local photographer who probably roamed the beach in search of business I was facinated by this image from the past. Who were these people and how did they live their lives ? Did they all live nearby or were they on holiday ? The truth is we will never really find out as they were just ordinary people who thought it would be nice to have their photographs taken, a spur of the moment thing that has survived to this day. This is how my Flickr site Forgotten Faces began and you can visit by clicking on the View Flickr Photostream link at the top of this page or by going to My Complete Profile and clicking on My Web Page.
