Hi, friends. I'm Priscilla Du Preez and I’ll be your dusty old archivist. I’ve stumbled upon an incredible box of mysterious 35mm film slides and every day, I’ll post a new photo in hopes of deciphering some clue that will lead us back to the owner of these images. I’m so excited to see where in the world this box of mysteries will take us. If you'd like to connect, please use the contact page to get in touch. This project was totally inspired by the legendary Annie Spratt (https://unsplash.com/@anniespratt). Love you, boss lady. :)

We’ve got another very clear face! But not many clues on the location. But I love this photo! It feels so spontaneous and charming. Like he’s thinking, babe put my camera down. Haha

Archive #8: June 18, 2023 - Mosque of Amir al-Maridani of 1340 CE, Cairo, Egypt. (May 1975) 1 slide : colour ; 5 x 5 cm. Don’t stand too close, this thing is gonna tumble! Incredible how a quick reverse-image search on Google took me directly to the location of this beautiful mosque.

Archive #7: June 17, 2023 - Ruby & Jenni. 1 slide : colour ; 5 x 5 cm. Color Transparency.
We’ve got a lead today! Ruby & Jenni (?). Amazing! Also, there’s no date but look at their mid-century dining chairs. I’m infinitely jealous, probably real teak too. ‘70s, maybe?

Archive #6: June 16, 2023 - Backstreet’s back, alright! / unknown. (Jan, 1992) 1 slide : colour ; 5 x 5 cm.
I don’t think the Backstreet Boys were active until ‘93, but this kid was ready. I’m obsessed. Look at this gem! I get giddy when we get a recognizable face haha. Are we closer to finding these people? No idea. But the journey is fun. Thanks for following, archivists!
