Inspired by Emily's blog entry "Random (and More Random) Photos of Strangers", I decided to loot my local vintage store for photos of strangers. I live in a small town near an antique mall so I found mostly photos that go way, way back... I had hoped to find a few photos from the sixties or seventies, but, oh, well! Here's what I found:
This lady seems prim and proper, but look at her hair! She's punk before punk was punk, well, sort of. This was a very blurry picture that I managed to doctor up in Photoshop. On the other side of the photo there is a handwritten note that says, "June 6, birthday, 1905." I hope she had a pleasant birthday.
This is Miss Bremmer and doesn't she have attitude? I love her boots. This was a photo sent as a postcard and the note on the back, written in Miss Bremmer's own handwriting, reveals that she sent it to someone she hadn't been in touch with for a long while... I wonder why? I think postcards back in the early 20th century were yesteryear's version of blogs...
I love this picture. I would say it comes from the '20s and the girl here has some lovely shadows falling over her eyes that make her face dramatic. This is another photo that came with a note on back that reads "I look like a cuckoo, but the scenery is pretty, don't you think?" I think she looks pretty and doesn't look as cuckoo as she thinks she does. She's just chillin'! And it looks like she's hanging out at Wolf River. I recognize the scenery. Kinda great to find photos of folks that you discover lived and played in your home town. I hope the spirits of these people don't mind me commenting on their photos!
