This is what photography is all about.

So beautiful, so sad.

Exactly. I reckon probably more important than the find of Ansel Adam's glass plates at a garage sale last year (or the year before).

Two or three lights, any lens on a light-tight box are sufficient for the realisation of the most convincing image. Man Ray 1935.

:shock: Wow an interesting glimpse into their lives.

In comparison, I reckon the memory cards of today may not last this long.

Indeed very poignant pics. Unfortunately the blogger has no idea: Kamikaze pilots did not exist in the time frame and that little baby could most certainly still be alive.

Definitely a very touching find....even if the blogger filled in the blanks a bit

He is just a collector pretending to be a historian. That's what I gathered anyway.
