1. I’ve come across some old family photos very similar to that last shot – badly yellowed with either vague or completely washed-out faces & even with today’s computer ‘magic’ fix-up abilities, there’s not much you can do with them unfortunately. I always try, though.

   1. I had that in my post at first – that I had done all the fix ups I could think of but nothing really helped enough.

2. Interesting fuzzy photos – but at least you can identify the people. Today I would probably throw out my failed photos, but they do still represent our wider family and evoke family memories, so are worth keeping for that alone.

3. All I can do is laugh.

4. I like these photos the more I see of them. They are really kind of good creepy if you know what I mean….

   1. I like them too.

5. The photo of Louis is intriguing. It makes me think of the phrase “hair-raising experience.”

   1. That’s how Louis’ hair was. It wasn’t due to a hair raising experience.

6. That last one is quite scary !

7. You just have laugh, and wonder why they were kept.

8. Atmospheric! I love the first one, the girl on the left seems possessed!

   1. I have another one taken right after this one (or right before) where both of them are blurred. The spell moving forward.

9. Those were fun!

10. I love that first shot — especially with the curtain blowing in the background. Just a little creepy…but still wonderful!

11. Ghosting is right!!
    I’ll join my voice to others in saying that that first pic does it for me.
    This one could launch a million stories, gothic style!!
    The look of that girl on the left is haunting,
    and the whole atmosphere is simply gorgeous.
    Love it!!

    1. Me too!

12. I have to agree with Sean and TickleBear, the first picture looks pretty spooky, what with Halloween coming up, fits right in!

13. Kristin! What a surprise to find that you have imperfect photos. I look at all the photos you post and always assumed that every one in your collection was perfect. I think the one of the young man in the chair isn’t too bad – could probably be adjusted with a digital photo program, maybe….

    1. I included the one of my Uncle Louis as a 12 year old, even though it wasn’t really bad, because he wrote on the back of all the photos identifying everybody. Even my bad photos are good 🙂

14. A super set of photos for the theme. When photos were rare, even poor ones were cherished for the moment they recorded.

15. Full of character.

    I don’t think my grandmother or mother kept very many blurred photos.
