[Leica] old photographs (WAS: The Corner Office)

[Nathan Wajsman]

Yes and no. Among my most treasured possessions are photographs from pre-war Lublin in Poland which I inherited from my father (not taken by him). Those images survived the Holocaust, decades of suboptimal storage in Communist Poland, and a move to Denmark in 1972. I now have them, and they exist in the cloud too:

So not all old photos get thrown out.

Cheers,
Nathan
