The call. A schoolmate calls.
Are you friends with the internet? He asks.
Well, within certain limits, yes, I answer.
- Then quickly go to the local Forum, and in the section "Photo - video" look for
“Trivial History” and read and watch.
I open, enter and read the text below.

A non-trivial story
Author - Stravaganza 0 - 15.02.2011 - 2:58

I once went to the flea market, where grandparents and grandmothers sold all kinds of stuff. I see that one old man, among his old keys, glands, wine bottles, and other garbage, which he considered a commodity, has a single wide film. I was surprised, as I did not notice any more photographic accessories on his newspaper deck. I came, took it in my hands, I see it – it’s already exposed. Being intrigued, I ask, why does Grandpa sell the already filmed film? Grandfather in response swears and loves that the film is clean, not shot, and generally the most that is excellent. I tried to point the old woman to the inscription "exposed" on the video, but the veteran refuses, and continues to insist that the film is clean, take it now and take it, better the film in the world you will not find, and all in the same spirit. To the question of where he got this film, the retired man could not answer anything understandable, obviously himself no longer remembered. This story seemed funny to me, and I bought this film. I used to watch it for a long time, but once, showing my black and white films, I showed it. It turned out to be a classic "amateur" film, (amateur is the term that in the photography lab where I worked at the time, called the films, in which thirty-six frames contained several birthdays, a trip to the sea, and a new year) - here you and winter, and summer, and all this in twelve frames 6x6. Then I threw this carelessly washed film, and it lasted for ten years, no less. And now, when I came across it recently, it seemed to me a shit to keep a piece of someone’s family history, and not even try to find those for whom these images might be invaluable. In this regard, I ask the local everyday people to look at these faces, maybe you will see someone of your acquaintances, yet not everyone in this city kept their family records in a broad format?

Following this text are placed four black-and-white photographs, one of which only a glance made you shudder and almost tears. I and my family have been in the picture 30 years ago. The kids are very small. I call my eldest daughter. For example, please join this forum. There is a grandson behind. In a few minutes I hear a scream of amazement.
On the "telephone forum" recalled the case when 29 years ago, in a hurry, went to the cinema with his wife in a car. As I walked out of the cinema, I saw a light burning in my car. It became clear that the thief was in a hurry and did not knock the door. Along with the jacket, my favourite “Amateur-2” disappeared – the cheapest and one of the best cameras of the time and a cassette with a film taken.
Could it have been assumed that the pictures would return to me a quarter of a century later?
