Flickr user Lynne’s Lens recently posted photos that she developed from 35mm negatives purchased at a flea market. Expecting the standard of people lined up and smiling at the camera, she writes of her pleasant surprise to find a set of vintage photos from the 1930s of New York City. “Every vintage 30′s photo is a gorgeous delight, and, after looking at the first couple of scanned images, it was quite obvious that the photographer knew what he/she was doing. There are some great portraits, people working in an office, some great shots of NYC, and, even better, a big group of shots of the New York World’s Fair.”
