The Young Communist

Al I know about this guy is that he seems to be embracing the Lenin look, albeit with a full head of hair.  A real photo postcard.

The Shoe Lady In Profile

It's the shoe lady in profile.  At least I think it's her.  This time, she's not standing on someone's shoulders.  Click on shoe lady in labels if none of this makes sense.

Head & Shoulders

Actually, it's labeled "Shoulders & Head."  Mid century modern, from the fifties, I would think.

Old Man

Another image from my days at the photo lab. This print was hand printed, by me, from an old, 19th century glass negative. As I've noted in some previous posts, while it was possible to buy commercially manufactured glass plates, many photographers made their own. Click on the image to open it in a bigger window, and water stains from either the making or processing of the negative can be seen as a streak across the subjects face. Too, the photographers finger print can be seen in the lower right corner. The one question; was the photographer an amateur, or some small town professional with a home made camera.
