Well, its now 2008 and I have just started uploading again and hope to reach 1000 photo`s by the end of Jan. I uploaded a few recently purchased cards yesterday and have a mountain still to go through.
The site is still being visited on a regular basis and is now coming up to 15000 views. I have recently installed a couple of add ons to the site which provide some statistics of how the site is viewed. You can see one of them in a graph form on my profile page.
So, lots to do in the new year and lots more postcards to buy !!
A happy new year to anyone who reads this blog.

About Me

- I have been collecting old postcards of the Isle of Wight for many years and it was quite by chance that during a search on ebay I discovered a real photographic card depicting a large group of family and friends on Ventnor beach. Taken around the 1920`s or early 1930`s by a local photographer who probably roamed the beach in search of business I was facinated by this image from the past. Who were these people and how did they live their lives ? Did they all live nearby or were they on holiday ? The truth is we will never really find out as they were just ordinary people who thought it would be nice to have their photographs taken, a spur of the moment thing that has survived to this day. This is how my Flickr site Forgotten Faces began and you can visit by clicking on the View Flickr Photostream link at the top of this page or by going to My Complete Profile and clicking on My Web Page.
