Another Blast From the Past
A few weeks ago my mom was going thru some more of my grandmothers personal belongings and came across some old photographic negatives. She decided to take a chance on getting them developed to see how good they would come out and we were amazingly suprised. The format was so old that they had to be taken to a professional photographer for developing at a much higher cost than your usual photo outlets. Well, you can see a couple of the incredible results below.
Unfortunately, since my grandmother has now passed away and my grandfather died over 30 years ago, we may never learn the story of why and where these photos were taken. We do know that the year was 1928 and that it was somewhere in the New Orleans area and they were roughly 20 years old. Don’t my grandparents make a great looking couple?
There’s still tons of boxes and old belongings that remain to be looked thru, who knows what we’ll find!
Hope you guys have a killer new year holiday! Have fun and drink a few for me!

Those did turn out very well! Hope you’ll share more with us!
Think I’ll just “think” a few drinks and have fun anyway! 
Happy New Year Se7!
Beautiful pics, Se7. How lovely to have those photos to cherish always.
Happy new year, Hon.
My grandmother passed away this past summer. I was the one who went into the basement and poured over the boxes of old photos to find stuff for the photo tribute we did for her at the wake. I found lots of similar pictures that no one in the family knows the where or when or why they were taken.
And yes, they make a great couple!
I just love looking at old photos. My husband digitally restores them and it is always a pleasure to see them in their full glory.
You were lucky to find the actual negatives. Nice post. Thanks for sharing, Sev7en.
Happy New Year!

Great pictures Se7. Priceless! Happy New Year honey.
They were indeed a handsome couple - as people liked to call it back then! I wonder if perhaps they were going on a trip and that’s why they were by the railroad tracks? You’ll never know but it’s fun to speculate!
Have a terrific New Year and though I’d love to have a drink or two, I’ve got to work tomorrow morning - 911 waits for no holiday (darn it all!)
Have a safe and happy New Year!
Those are fantastic pictures!
Happy New Year Seven!
Those are incredible!!! Happy, happy New Year!!
Happy New Year, Sev! *smooch*
They’re adorable. Thanks for posting the pics, and have a great 2-0-0-Se7en!
Happy New Year!
Those are awesome photos! They indeed make a great couple. Too bad they didn’t get them developed when they were alive. Bet there would have been some great stories.
Great pictures, and they do make a beautiful couple. I love old pictures. When you don’t know the story behind them, you can let your imagination wander and ponder all kinds of scenarios.
Happy New Year, Se7en.
But we can all imagine a story to go along with it. Did they take the train down to NO and stay forever?
The second photo has some kind of ghost in the background. Or a huge swarm of bees.
Why, they look just like…..like….like….I’ll think of somebody…
WOW! Awesome, Seven. Happy New Year and all the best to ya!
What a handsome couple! Happy New Year to you.
Happy new year! I betcha this year is gonna be better than the last!
What an awesome piece of your family’s history to have!
They look like an amazing couple Se7! I hope you’re having a wonderful New Year!!
