Thrice the Joy
Here’s another curated collection of photo memories, all explicitly shared by people around the world using the apps by Photomyne
That's me in the middle, Tim on the left, and Jill (Tim's sister) on the right. Sitting on one of Uncle Jack's VW Bugs. Found this photo in one of mother's boxes of pictures. MI, USA 1967
At Llangollen on Whit Monday. UK 1949
Betty Hugo, Mable Housman, and Mary Hickson. USA 1933
This is one of my father's pictures (Clyde Martin). He was in the Seabees (United States Naval Construction Battalions). New Guinea (Year unknown)
From the left: My brother Peter, me (Cees van der Wel) and my mother Lenie. I'm six years old here. Photo taken by my father Piet, a truck-driving man and a working class hero. The location is at a pier in the coastal city of Hoek van Holland, west of Rotterdam. It's where we spent our holidays. I remember I used to daydream there as a kid. I used to imagine the ships leaving the harbor and taking over the world, and how I, too, would one day discover the rest of the globe. And that's what I ended up doing as a television reporter. Today, at 67 years old I'm the only one left. Finding this long forgotten picture touched me. Not only because of the loss of my family, but because of my father's eye of a photographer. The Netherlands 1950s
