This Man Definitely Did Not Expect To Find These Photos In The 89-Year-Old Camera He Bought

When it comes to photography, there is a seemingly endless archive of photos from all kinds of eras and places, and it only keeps expanding and growing as time goes on. However, as we all know, older photos are becoming harder to come by.

That’s why when this photographer came across an old vintage camera, he was thrilled, to say the least.

Not Just A Job

Martijn Van Oers is a self-taught Dutch photographer for whom photography isn’t just a way to make a living or a weekend hobby, it is basically his whole life.

For Martijn, photography is a form of expression, hard work, and a way to share his narrative.

What Did He Find?

By the light of the red bulb, this man held his breath and started to unwind the reel. He knew that it only takes a single wrong move to ruin the negatives. His hands were shaking as he shook the tank.

The Spooky Outline

At the moment, there was nothing to do but wait. When it was time, he unspooled the reel once more. Not once did he expect the faint outline that left him trembling from head to toe.

An Obsession

Dutch photographer Martijn van Oers had been infatuated with the art of photography since he was a young boy. In particular, he felt drawn to old photographs. He was fond of those that came with a sinister or eerie undercurrent.
