I’ve been adopting strangers I find in antique and op-shops….
My first adoptee is this adorable swimming suit lady.

Look at those bathers! and those little shoes. I wonder what beach she is at. What is her name…
In the same batch of old nitrate negatives I found these ladies:

Are they related to the swimming lady? Where are they? I wonder if they enjoyed their ‘frolick’ in the snow?
I am fascinated by who these people might have been, what the stories are behind the pics… perhaps I will make up my own stories to go with them.
More strangers to follow

Love the beach image. Also love the idea of making up stories. A friend used to make a zine with discarded shopping lists she found in shopping trolleys and supermarket carparks, trying to piece together what the person was like by what was on the list and their handwriting. Look forward to more found strangers.
