Okay so here’s the lowdown. I found 4 sets of medium format negatives while I was thrift shop hunting a few weeks ago. They were sitting in a box of old vintage photographs in these plastic sleeves, and from what I could tell, they had been taken sometime in the 50’s. So obviously I brought them home, and today finally had them scanned in, and holy wow they are beautiful!!

NOW this is where I need the Internet’s help. I would absolutely love to find the women in these photographs/the photographer who took them. The only info I have is that the negatives were found in a thrift store on Hull St in Richmond, VA. They are medium format, and judging by the style of dress, made in 1940-1950. The owner of the thrift store had no idea where they came from. I’m posting the best/clearest scans of the images, so if y'all could reblog the shit out of this, I’m hoping we can find the owners of these amazing images.

This week I’m trying to be less of “I want” and more of “I’m privileged to have what I’ve got”. I don’t think it’s bad to want more; but sometimes we forget about all the good we already have. I’m trying to learn that.

Art and love are the same thing: it’s the process of seeing yourself in things that are not you. It’s understanding the unreasonable.

Ravel, Introduction and Allegro for Harp, String Quartet, Clarinet, and Flute

if you’ve never heard this, i urge you to blast it immediately. i’ve always liked Ravel better than Debussy, and a piece like this just helps me know i’ve made the right decision on that. it’s odd how such an unconventional form and collection of instruments can be THIS good
