#findthegirlsonthenegatives

Hey sixpenceee! I don’t know if you’ve heard about this yet, but I thought it might just be cool/creepy enough to share!

Here’s the lowdown on the hashtag. A little while ago, photographer Meagan Abell discovered some undeveloped film while in Richmond, VA. Intrigued, she took them home and scanned them (a few of the scans can be found above). Not much is known about the photographs, or their origins, but Meagan started a hashtag to find the girls in the pictures, and the photographer.

With the internets help, Abell has already figured out the location the pictures were taken (Playa Del Rey, LA, California), the likely date they were taken (October 17, 1958), and even a few candidates for the models! More info can be found in the links below.

“The most important thing for me is finding out what the story is behind the photos! Community is really important and without it, I more than likely wouldn’t even have a chance of finding the original owner. That is what photographic art is all about. Help me find the owner!”                                                                  —Meagan Irene Abell
