Here's my contribution - luggage and kerosene lamp circa 1940's found at Murikami house, Steveston, BC, before the Japanese were sent to the interior of BC (Kootenay region) because of Pearl Harbour. Click to enlarge.

How fascinating to come over & see this image, as I've actually seen it in real life, as I've been to Steveston many times & visted the the house in question.
I'm obviously slow on the uptake, as I've only just locked onto your photo blog, I wondered why I could never find your meme pictures on the other one - LOL!
My parents didn't know what a blog is. I explained them some things and they were very happy when they saw their parents photos in my blog! The next blog they saw was yours the one with your generation photos... They were impressed and sent you their gongratulations for your blog and photos. I regret I throw away an old suitcase my father in law gave me one day. It wasn't so old but it had its story...
What a winning shot ... its sort of depressing knowing the owners most likely never got their possessions back ... and it reminds me of the photos in the Holocaust Museum .. very effect, Leslie!
I took very early retirement from teaching in '06 and did some traveling in Europe and the UK before settling down to do some private tutoring. As a voracious reader, I have many books waiting in line for me to read. Tell me I shouldn't read something, and I will. I'm a happy, optimistic person and I love to travel and through that believe that life can be a continuous learning experience. I'm looking forward to traveling more some day. I enjoy walking, cycling, water aerobics & and sports like tennis, volleyball, and fastpitch/baseball. I'm just getting into photography as a hobby and I'm enjoying learning all the bits and bobs of my digital camera. My family is everything to me and I'm delighted to be the mother of two girls and the Gramma of a boy and a girl. I may be a Gramma, but I'm at heart just a girl who wants to have fun.

That is a great shot!
Well done. I joined in too.
Beautiful shot!!! Love old suitcases. If only they could talk!
This is a most evocative image. I feel it would have worked well in sepia as well.

This is a great image and plenty of history to go with it. A good start to the theme.

I love the look of this one. It really makes the suitcases look old.
A very interesting image and a wonderful photograph.
That's a lovely shot - I love old trunks and cases.
I just discover this new contest at Aileni's.
Your post illustrates fabulously the theme. "Monochrome" as old pictures full of memory. Really perfect.
This photo stopped me in my tracks. There were Japanese internment camps in my state about 100 miles from my hometown...sad memories.
Lovely photo!
Nice photo! Love old suitcases!
