I recently purchased some slides off ebay, and this is one of the negatives that I was able to process with my new digital scanner. I bought the images in the hopes of using some of the scratches, etc. for digital processing, having no idea the frames were filled with people. I have no idea who this woman is, or who the photographer is, but I am so intrigued by it! 

The image has such a mysterious feel to it. What happened to her, who was the photographer, and how did the image end up here, in Michigan, some 3500 miles away, over 50 years later? Was it taken by her husband, a friend, a sister? The 1960's and early 1970's are my favorite era and I can't help but think how amazing it would be to be able to step back in time and hang out with her for a day. 

It's fun meeting her for the first time, but I can't help wondering what her life was like. I wish I could know more about her, or at least her name. I'm sure she never in a thousand years imagined that this image would end up here, 50 years later. 

The seller said the images were taken in Cornwall, England, in the 1960's or 1970''s. If she was 30 when this image was shot, that would make her at least 74 years old today.
