What’s this guy holding?

Here’s the star of the album, sporting another of her fabulous bows in her hair:

Unfortunately, nothing was written on the back of these photos.

Album Rescue Project: Photos 26 and 27

The little girl who’s been featured in many of the photos in the album so far looks so grown up in this next photo:

Photo 26

I’m beginning to think that she was the original owner of this album. Take a look at the bouquet around her neck. I wonder how typical an accessory that was back then…

Photo 27

This photo is peculiar for a few reasons. 1) It’s printed on postcard stock; 2) the angle of the head of the girl on the left is strange to me — I wonder if she moved while the photo was being taken; 3) there is a strange mark in the background behind the woman on the right. I can’t tell if it’s ink or part of the photo.

Here’s a photo with a rather artsy angle to it:

Photo 24

I’m not completely convinced that the people in this photo are related to those we’ve already met. Partly because of the paper this is printed on:

I do recognize at least one of the girls in this next photo:

I love this next photo. Note that the girls are standing in a stream:

Photo 22

Might the water below be where they were standing? It seems to be moving pretty rapid here:

More from Red Bridge Park today, at least in this next photo:

The next photo isn’t labeled on the back, but I’m willing to wager that this scene on a swingset is from the same park:

Album Rescue Project: Album 1, Photos 18-19

Here are the next photos from Album 1. Could this next image also be from Red Bridge Park? It doesn’t have any writing on the back unfortunately:

Photo 18

The next image is a funny one, with the two women posed among the reeds:

Photo 19

This photo doesn’t have any writing on the back either. I think I recognize the girl who featured in many of the earlier photos on the right with the bow on the side of her head.

Album Rescue Project: Album 1, Photos 16-17

Here are the next two photos from Album 1. They don’t reveal much, but they are great photos nonetheless:

Photo 16

So that isn’t a rogue photo corner that got caught in the scanner — this photo had another one attached to it in the album. I was able to remove the photo, but didn’t want to risk damaging this photo further by trying to remove the paper corner.

I love this next photo:
