World War I photos found inside antique camera

[Tony_FLADEM]

A collector of vintage photography equipment got an extra bonus when he picked up a French camera at an antique store: never-before-seen images circa World War I France.

Anton Orlov details the story of the lucky find on his blog the Photo Palace, where all of the eight photos from the Jumelle Belllieni stereoscopic camera can be seen.

Orlov writes in his blog that he came across the images completely by accident, as he was cleaning the recently purchased camera. He opened up the film chamber and found the negatives on a stack of glass plates.

He writes, “While viewing the images in their negative form it was difficult to say for sure what was on each of them, but after scanning them it became clear that they dated back to the First World War and were taken somewhere in France. Adding, “I absolutely love finding images that likely have never been seen by anyone in the world.”

2. one time in an offbeat second-hand store...

...I came across an envelope of bw photos that were taking in the massacre in Nanking, where the Japanese brutalized so many people. Amateur photos. Extremely graphic -- one showed a beheading in action. I couldn't afford them, although I realized their historic value. And I was repulsed, of course. When I went back again, some had been sold from the lot, which is too bad.

6. Weird. I'm up at 3:20 a.m. because I just finished reading Fall of Giants by

Ken Follett about WW one.

....cue Twilight Zone music.....

7. Did you like it? I did.

Up at this ridiculous hour due to insomnia. I even just served on a jury!

8. I loved it! Ken Follett has become one of my very favorite authors.

I can't begin reading his books, because nothing else in my life gets done once I start reading one....I can't put them down. He is incredible the way he develops and expresses his characters, and he sure knows how to spin a good story. My grandfather was in WW one, and our family still has the propeller from the airplane he flew on reconnaissance over German military positions in France. Fall of Giants put my grandfather's experience in really clear historical focus for me.

For insomnia try Sleep MD (over the counter) . It's herbal and helps you sleep AND wake up.
