Last week I posted the first of three rolls that were shipped to me as a set, ultimately from Rhode Island – and we don’t know much else about them. They were all 120 film, but of different types. This second roll was marked “Bill’s Part”…and after developing them, I realized it was supposed to be “party” – the “y” had been added above, after the owner ran out of space. This is the roll of film:
In the first roll, we saw a wedding, and a man in his prime, smoking a cigar. We don’t know whether how the man in the photos is related to the photographer. In this second roll, we meet who is most likely “Bill”, with some sort of handicapping condition. It’s not clear whether the man in this picture is the same as the man in the first roll. We see a family, and children, and “Bill”, presumably, opening a birthday gift.
It’s purely speculative, but there is some resemblance between the adults in these photos and the adults in last week’s photos, and it may be the same people. Unfortunately, the film quality is too poor to tell for sure. Next week, I’ll share the third roll in this series.
