My family and I are planning a big trip to Europe this summer.  There’s eleven of us going and we’re all so excited!  I wish my grandfather was alive to go with us, because we’ll be visiting one of the concentration camps he helped liberate.  Recently I purchased a vintage camera on Ebay.  The camera is the Argus C3 and it’s in amazing condition, it also came with undeveloped color slide film (that expired in 1954), and also some developed black and white negatives.  The negatives were the surprise, they are filled with images the owner took during WWII!  I know some history and information on the owner (he passed away at age 63 and his wife recently passed away last year..and I believe the person I bought this from on Ebay got this camera from the estate sale)…I’m in the process of scanning all of the negatives, and when I’m finished I’m going to try and see what family members I can contact to see if they’d like the scanned images.

One thing I plan to do is to run a test roll through the Argus camera to make sure it’s in working order, and then take this camera with me to Europe…so that it can take pictures there once again.

I wanted to share a couple with you tonight from the over 200 images I’ve already scanned…I believe these were both taken in Slovenia (which is near north Italy).
