Nostaljik İstanbul ve İzmir Fotoğrafları

O anı ölümsüzleştiren fotoğraflara değer veriyorum. Her fotoğraf güzel aslında, amatör, profesyonel, siyah & beyaz ya da renkli, bazıları ciddi, bazıları komik.

Eski fotoğraflara olan hayranlığım nereden geldi bilmiyorum ama o fotoğraflarda daha çok kendimi buluyorum. Çok eski kafalı olduğum da söylenemez gerçi.

Ohio’da yaşıyorum ve dün antikalar satan bir alışveriş merkezi olan Aunties Antique Mall'dan altı adet Türkiye fotoğrafı bulunca dört köşe oldum!

Fotoğrafların arkasında ki notta el yazısıyla tarih 27 Aralık 1955’de satın alındığı ve şehirlerin isimleri yer alıyor. Kart postal niyetinde mat ve parlak kağıtlara basılmışlar: beş tanesi İstanbuldan bir tanesi ise İzmirden.

Baktıkça fotoğraflara aklımda sorular, Amerika’dan Türkiyeye neden gitti, nasıl gitti? Nereden aldı acaba? Nasıl biriydi ki bu fotoğrafları satın aldı? Türkiyeyi beğenmiş kanısına vardım, çünkü kahramanımız her gittiği yerden sadece 2 ya da 3 adet fotoğrafa sahipken, Türkiyeden altı tanesine sahip.
Ben İzmir’de büyüdüm ama bu fotoğrafın nerede çekildiğini bir süre çıkaramadım. Fark ettiğimde ise tabii “Aaaa aaaa!!”

 Bakın bakalım siz de beğenecek misiniz?

Aunties Antique Mall, Parksman OH

On the way to the family party, Aunties Antique Mall have caught my eye at the right side of the road and of course we just had to stop it at this beautiful mall! We had only 45 minutes to close unfortunately but now I know that they are open 10 am to 5 pm every day!

Inside the mall, they sell from clothing, decorations, books, accessories, collectibles, furniture, records, to old photographs and many many more! There are 140 booths to visit. The antiques are sold by 100 sellers who can help with an old furniture to repair and to restore. Therefore they are the experts in their profession.

Here are the information booklet pictures:

These are some photos from outside! 

  

What did I purchase today from this amazing mall? 

These two rings I paid only $3 from the booth 81. So in conclusion the mall has variety of price ranges and most of the items in there were in great condition or MINT condition. 

Below you will find Betty Boop Stamps in Mint Condition which have individually authentic certificates and numbers by International Society of Worldwide Stamp Collectors.  

Now these are something to have in my collection and they were not overpriced at all, purchased from the booth 8. 

If you pass through this amazing mall and if you are interested in some antique beauties, don't miss the chance to stop by!
