Anyone Know these People Pre 1966

Dec_

I Bought a Job Lot of old camera's many moons ago and when I opened one of them there was a Roll of Film in It. I managed to Save these one's
and am still curious as to who the People are it seem's to be a street Photographer who took them in O'Connell Street and the Camera Jammed so they could not be collected.

Can't Seem to Post them Here so I put them here for the Time Being.

My mam used to know a street photog who shot peoples photos on O'Connell Bridge/Street back in the 60's. It was one of her friends fathers I think. He used to take people photos and they'd pay him and he'd send the pictures onto them. I'll get his name tomorrow. It probably isn't him but its worth a shot!?
Stranger things have happened though!

There is one photo that does bear a pretty good resemblance to some of my aunts funnily enough. I doubt it's them but sure I'll follow it up and find out.

Cool photos though.

No tracksuits or pyjamas in sight, they are all very well turned out. What have we become!

There were a number of street photographers over the years but this guy's probably the best remembered. His name escapes me now. This photo was taken about '84 and he packed it in not long after.

You're probably better off posting this in the Dublin City forum. Just scroll down on the "Region" category and you'll see it. On the top of the page there is a Historical Picture thread. I post up old comfo and communion and other odd Dublin curio photos there for the same purpose. No results but even still it would be appreciated over there as it is a drop in thread for those interested in such things.

One of the moderators of this forum could do it for you (shift the thread across).

I started a New thread there before reading the end bit about a Mod Shifting it for Me.

Dec you only posted it in East which is just a broad general section. If you scroll across at East there are more sub categories and one of them is Dublin City. No need to start another thread there though as there is the Historical Pictures thread in the stickies (Stickies are thread on the very top of the page). Sure leave this one here for now as you might get a response and then a moderator of this forum will bounce it over there when they see it.
But in order for you to check for replies you should go over to that forum to make sure you can find your way about.

Aw man, I would have loved to be part of the 60's - so bloody cool, they look fantastic!! Thats the one thing - if I could travel back into the past, thats where I would go. Everyone was so glamorous, stylish and the girls were amazing!!

I found Historical Now. It is now in 3 Threads might need some sorting by a Mod.

humberklog

Yeah, ah it'll get sorted. Just pop your eye over the historical one now and again for responses. Best of luck with it.

I know it sounds silly but have you thought of offering them to any papers, even local papers, you never know one may be of interest and print one or two, you may find the owner.

CabanSail

It's amazing that film in a camera for close on half a century still processes quite well.

Trev M

Cool story , Id say a local paper would jump on that. People love a bit of nostalgia

CabanSail

Not sure what has gone on here. Is it a double exposure?

Morrisseeee

Cool story, great pics, in terms of: nostalgia, moments 'lost' in time......
You should do an exhibition ! or would you need a model release ?

Yes but have to find the Models First. Then there is the Question of Copyright

Well we did not have the Internet as we know it now. I made a few Prints and showed them around. I only found the Negs again recently as I was Scanning other Negs.

I remember that oul fella. He definitely worked in O'Connell St - used to take the shot and hand the subject(s) a card - photo could be collected in a basement shop in Talbot Street - I collected once (me and the mot when we were about 15) in the early 70's - and yeah, we were dressed to the nines.

GhostInTheRuins

I've got a picture of my nanny and granddad in the 60's that was taken in the exact same place on O'Connel street that most of those pictures were taken at (Corner of Clery's isn't it?). Would be mad if was the same guy that took them.

They are going in the Evening Herald tomorrow I think with a Caption "Do You Recognize these People" or similar.

Good stuff Dec, good on you.

Out of curiosity what type of cameras did you get the film out of?

pete4130

The guy my mam knew that used to shoot photos was called Dessie Malone and he used to have a darkroom in Abbey Street back in the late 50's early 60's.

Can't really Remember as there were a Few in the Box. I think it had a Little Bellows on the Front. I had to Break it open. The Herald Photographer asked Me the Same Question and if I still had it. It was binned years ago never thought it would cause this much excitement.

I miss me jazz mags:mad:.
