Ooh! A beautiful, artsy\u00a0mystery! Here’s the scoop… a couple of days ago, wedding photographer Meagan Abell<\/a> posted these images, and this message to her Facebook page:<\/p>\n

“I found 4 sets of medium format negatives while I was thrift shop hunting a few weeks ago. They were sitting in a box of old vintage photographs in these plastic sleeves, and from what I could tell, they had been taken sometime in the 50’s. So obviously I brought them home, and today finally had them scanned in, and holy wow they are beautiful!<\/em><\/p>\n

NOW this is where I need the Internet’s help. I would absolutely love to find the women in these photographs\/the photographer who took them. The only info I have is that the negatives were found in a thrift store on Hull St in Richmond, VA. They are medium format, and judging by the style of dress, made in 1940-1950. The owner of the thrift store had no idea where they came from. I’m posting the best\/clearest scans of the images, so if y’all could share this around, HOPEFULLY we can make it go viral and find the original photographer\/subjects!”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So cool… and some of the most beautiful, haunting photos I’ve ever seen {reminds me of the final scene in Fur: An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus<\/a>}<\/em> If you have any info you can comment on her Facebook page<\/a>, and if you share any info you can hashtag it\u00a0\u202a#\u200e<\/a><\/span>FindTheGirlsOnTheNegatives\u202c.<\/a>\u00a0Here’s one more closer view of the woman in the photographs… recognize her?<\/span><\/p>\n
