Fashion Wars

My friend Joe was helping his neighbor move and was tossing out her discarded items when he came across an album of old WW I and II photos in a box marked for trash. He is a bit of a history buff and I hate when photos are destroyed. We don't know the people in the portraits and she doesn't remember who they are, but I find value in these pieces of history that we all can share in, and I have begun to restore them.

This is a sample of some of the shots. One apparent way to win a war is to kill with fashion. This was from World War One when we knew how to kick some tail and turn some heads.

You know, I don't like to see photos get destroyed either. I think it's something about a piece of the person's existence destroyed when the photo is wiped out. As if by destroying the snapshot, the moment in time is also undone.

Yeah, I'm weird. I know this to be true.
