Random oldies

As I finish up preparations for my show on Sunday and get ready to attend a pottery workshop with the fabulous Sandi Pierantozzi tomorrow I will leave you with a few of my latest vintage photo acquisitions. (click for the close-up)

Above is perhaps one of the best antique images ever! Why? It has baby bunnies, that's why! Despite the fact the children look less than thrilled to be having their photo taken this image is one of my favorites. I love the composition - the way the older woman is looking at the bunny in the young girl's hand, the two girls staring straight into the camera and the boy looking off to the side. What do you think the girl on the right is holding in her hand? An eyeglass case?

The photos above and below are not what most people would consider to be "good" photos. The man reading the newspaper is blurry (and yet the porch railing to the left is in perfect focus). This image strikes me as a true candid shot probably taken quickly before the subject knew what had happened. The whole scene makes you wonder what he was reading about.

This man has no head. But who cares. He is tall and lean, his body in alignment with the fence post, his pipe echoing the length of his torso. I just love it! Not to mention his sweater. I want one of those. :)
