Looking For Old, Damaged Photo's...

[Inkz]

Hey Photographers lol, not often you see me in here........

Anyway. I'm looking for somewhere that stocks old photos that I can use. I'm slowly getting into restoration and repair. dA seems limited so if anyone knows where I can find some.

Many thanks.

Hi Inkz - Usually, old photos come looking for me (through clients) rather than the other way around where I go looking for them. Unfortunately, I can't post any of the ones I have worked on because they are clients' property.

I think (can't remember, old age and all lol) a member talking about a site that allows people to use them freely..

There's a few old ones here.... not as damaged as you ask for tho.

I have a couple. I would post more, but when I examine them, they are poor quality. At least these two might be acceptable. So you're welcome to them if they work for you; NP if they don't. Dang, I miss my old scanner . . .

Try it, you'll like it. Most of it is on this side of the pond, but tons of various things. I love just looking around..so much history there.
