my great grandfather is organizing his house and we're going through everything. Now, for you to understand, this man is 97 years old. so that is basically 97 years worth of junk collected. now add on two wives, and you've got a buttload more! but although most may be junk, there are so many hidden treasures! i could also sit for hours in that house, going through things.. including 2 garbage bags full of old photographs. There are so many beautiful photos of unidentified people and places, lost and forgotten. some of the more beautiful ones I plan to take home and scan so they can be given a home, on the internet! and so they can bring joy to others once again.
speaking of bringing joy to others once again, i have collected a few fantastic items from the house.
one being a darling 1950's Kodak Brownie; an old 8mm video-camera complete with a little leather case. it is still in working condition and kodak still produces 8mm film that you can order online. when i get some time (moreso spare change) i plan to buy some and test this lil guy out!
but if that never happens, at least watch this beautiful music video made with old super 8mm footage found from a nikon camera that washed up on shore. perfect footage for the lovely song by the DBags.
