23 Nostalgic Lost Photographs People Found In Dumpsters, Thrift Stores And Goodwill

Is anyone even still making photograph albums these days? It feels like ever since everyone got their own photo camera in their pocket at all times, the value of each individual photograph has dropped dramatically, and the art of cataloguing and organizing them lost some of its purpose.

It used to be that taking a photo meant something, with us being limited to the number of shots on the reel, or, later, the size of the memory card on our digital cameras. Bringing a photo camera around was something special, too.

Maybe that's why so many albums these days have been finding their way to dumpsters and goodwill! Not all of them get completely lost, though, as some enthusiasts uncover and clean up these cool pictures taken decades ago, even if they don't know who the people in them are. Sometimes these photos lost to time find their way online. Here are some relics that people saved and decided to share with others.
