Old Photos

January 25, 2010

Some photos I found at Kudzu Antiques recently:

I love how it looks like the mom is lowering the kid into the puddle. “Go play with your brothers in the mud!” The photo is dated September 1963.

Anyone have any ideas where this could have been taken? Seems like a nice scene.

Photo dated February 1952, San Antonio Texas.

Mourning Photos

October 5, 2009

“The painting may cheerfully portray the life of the deceased, but to nineteenth-century eyes, the daguerreotype, in showing the moment of death, or one just afterward, does a better job at portraying the person, the essence of the child, his soul.”

Should I Call Alex?

September 3, 2009

Saw this the other day at a coffeeshop:

I think Alex would make a pretty picture of Wendell.

I blurred out the phone number since I’m not sure Alex wants his phone number all over the internet. If you want to call Alex, e-mail me privately and I can get you in touch!

My Life with Mannequins

August 16, 2009

As a boy, I was unusually obsessed with mannequins. I used to beg my parents to take me to Sears just so I could stand next to one of them. I remember once I got too close and tipped one of them over; I was terrified but the department store staff were all very nice and told me it was okay. The above photo is the only remaining picture of this early obsession.

These pictures taken at the Exxon on Candler St and Memorial. I think it hasn’t opened yet, but all the LCD panels were turned on last night. Strangely creepy.
