The Details

He told bored panda “We scanned the negatives and found four images had enough detail in them to tell that the last time this camera was used, it belonged to a man (who’s even in one of the pictures, carrying the camera’s case) who probably brought his expensive piece of gear on one of his travels.”

Proceeding Further

The processing of the photos was done. Now the man had taken up a new challenge. “We tried to estimate when the picture was taken, but that is a bit of a wet job. Based on the clothing and the scene, it must have been somewhere in the 1940s, ’50s or ’60s,” said van Oers.   

Special!!!

The man had understood by now that the image he had found was special. Though he had the picture, he was still had no idea about the owner. It was then he had decided to take the help of technology. He shared the pictures with his friends on Facebook. Soon the images got popular among his followers. 

Search Begins

He said, “It really makes me want to find out who the people in the pictures are. Hopefully, one day, I will be able to hand over these negatives to the descendants of this mystery photographer.”

An Information

One of those people who saw the images was Wilco who gave the photographer some vital information about the image. He was an acquaintance of Oers. His friend told him that the location shown in the image is of Biarritz, a city in south-west France.      

Shared The Image

Wilco could not have been wrong in his assumption as he had visited the city a number of times. In order to confirm he even shared a Google Streetview image with van Oers. After seeing the image, the photographer got convinced that these pictures were indeed captured in Biarritz.
