Pearl Harbor



We got these pictures from a guy that Ryan worked with. According to him, his brother found an old camera and bought it at a yard sale.



When he got the camera home he realized there was still some old film in it. He did some photography on the side so he was able to take the film out and develop most of the pictures. To his surprise, these are the pictures he was able to develop. He believes this is Pearl Harbor the day the Japanese attacked.



They are pretty cool pictures, whether this story is true... who knows! To me, the pictures seem to be in pretty good condition... so whatever... it makes for a good story!

Pretty cool pictures, Mindy. I'm with you. The pictures are awfully clear, but if the story is true...what a find.

Wow - Deep down inside, I hope it's true...that would just blow my mind. So for now, I will pretend they are authentic and let my mind run with it. :)

Those are amazing!Has his friend done more research on them? You should blow them up and give them to Michelle. She loves that kind of stuff!

Are you serious or are you hoaxing me again, sister? That is the coolest story I've ever heard. Theses photos will be worth some cash if the story is true. Alex says he's SURE he saw those same pictures in his Social Studies book. Whatever. Still cool, if it's true!

What a cool find. I can't even imagine what it would have been like. Love the new font by the way! I want a Luv Sac too, how fun for the kids.

For the record...if they were preserved inside the camera, the film would have been protected from scratches and such, and you can do a lot with photo editing now to make them more clear. So the fact that they are clear may not proclude the story from being true. :) Here's to hoping because that is a COOL story. The pictures are so amazing they bring me to tears. Maybe because I am missing my grandma and she was a nurse in this war.
