The Here, There, and Everywhere Collection-The End

I suppose it's somewhat symbolic that I'm finishing this collection with a photo of a tombstone.  Written on the back, "Peter Hubbard lot Guthrie Center Cemetery."  The only Guthrie Center I could find is in Iowa.  It was platted in 1856,on the Raccoon River, and has always been a very small community.  It's current population is under 2,000, and doesn't appear to be growing.  I couldn't find anything on Peter Hubbard.

So, clicking on The Here There and Everywhere Collection in labels will now allow viewers to see the whole lot.  They weren't posted in any particular order.  I did save the tombstone for the end, but other than that, it was all pretty random.  Enjoy. .

The Here, There, and Everywhere Collection-The Other Side of the Last Album Page

This must have been a family of photographers.  Take a look at the vertical photo of the kid.  It might be necessary to click on the image and bring it up in another window, to see the camera he's using.  It's a nice one, and probably somewhat expensive.  Click on The Here There and Everywhere Collection in labels to see almost everything else. 

The Here, There, and Everywhere Collection-The Last Loose Album Page

The sprinklers, if that's what they are, have shown up before.  It looks like the one woman is a photographer, but who took her picture?  Click on The Here There and Everywhere Collection in labels, or wait for the last two posts to see absolutely everything. 

The Here, There, and Everywhere Collection-Nearing the End

As promised in my last post, with my mid-winter trip over, I'm finishing off this collection.  Three more posts after this one, almost certainly done before the end of the week.  Click on The Here There and Everywhere Collection in labels, etc.

The Here, There, and Everywhere Collection-Life In Suburbia

In the first post from this collection, I mentioned that I had a few doubts that all the photos might not be what I was told; images from a single source.  This one, like some others that have been posted, are clearly not form the same era as the majority of photos.  So, for what it's worth.

As usual, click on The Here There and Everywhere Collection in labels to see a far more detailed explanation of my doubts about  this collection.  I'm trying to get out of town for a week to ten days, I'll finish posting the collection when I return.

The Here, There and Everywhere Collection-Three on a Porch

And a great bicycle in the background.  Click on The Here There and Everywhere Collection in labels, etc.

The Here, There, and Everywhere Collection-Traveling by Train

Navigate back a few posts and you'll find stuff on the Harvey House restaurant and hotel chain.  The building in the background looks like it could be a rail station in the style that the Harveys favored.  Then again, rather than two women leaning against a rail station platform, they could be two women leaning against a beachfront boardwalk.  In any case they're far from the boring house as seen in the last two posts.

The Here, There, and Everywhere Collection-The Same Boring House

Yes, it's the same boring house as seen in the last post.   Click on The Here There and Everywhere Collection in labels to see more.

The Here, There and Everywhere Collection-One of the Ones With Two Pictures, Back to Back

A cold warning, high winds, and rain forecast for Christmas Day (Snow over 5,000 feet.) has led me to push back the beginning of my trip to December 26, and since I'm going to be here, rather than there and everywhere, I'm returning to this unfinished collection for at least a few days.  It's a good thing that the top picture is interesting, because the one on the other side is kind of boring.

The Here, There, and Everywhere Collection-Mystery Location

When I pulled this one out of the envelope, I was sure I had seen this place in real, as opposed to photographic life.  I've been thinking about this one for awhile, and I'm leaning towards a dam somewhere in southern Arizona.  I have memories of driving through the mountains, going around a curve and being on top of a dam, maybe on the Salt River, maybe somewhere else.  I mean, I can't imagine these four gentlemen, and the fifth, the photographer, saying to themselves, "Hey, what an ordinary wall next to a road, let's all stop the car and take a picture!"  At least that's my impression.

There's not that much more to go, but I think I'm going to leave the last of The Here, There, and Everywhere Collection (Remember to click in labels to see more.) for another time.

The Here, There, and Everywhere Collection-The Faceless Family Connection

There are only so many photos in this collection that have any sort of caption, and this is one of them.  Written on the back, "my cousin."

Click on The Here There and Everywhere Collection at the bottom of the post to see the rest.

The Here, There, and Everywhere Collection-The Track Meet

Some of you may have guessed that I'm posting images as they come out of the envelope, and that there is no real order to anything.  Images from the last couple of posts look like early twentieth century to me.  Probably no latter than the World War 1 era.  This one looks more like the thirties or forties.

Anyway, for anyone who wants to see other images or read some of the commentary, click on The Here There and Everywhere Collection in labels.

The Here, There, and Everywhere Collection-A Really, Really Damaged Print

Someone peeled this one out of an album and didn't do a very good job of it.  Click on The Here There and Everywhere Collection in labels to see more and learn more. 

The Here, There, and Everywhere Collection-One Picture on a Bit of Album Page

Well, I don't think I need to scan a second image to show position on this one, and I don't think I need to zoom in on the photo only.  This little girl can be seen on some of the other posts from this collection.  At least, from what little I can see from this pose, I think so.  Click on The Here There and Everywhere Collection in labels to see more.

The Here, There, and Everywhere Collection-T'other side

As I noted in the previous post, this one is clearly related to an earlier post.  I've seen the sprinklers before.  But what purpose do they serve?  They seem to be watering a pond.  It must be some sort of water treatment system. 

And dare I suggest it?  Click on The Here There and Everywhere Collection in labels to search out those sprinklers.

The Here, There, and Everywhere Collection-Sitting and Standing Album Page

It's been awhile since I've posted anything from this collection, so I guess I should recap a bit for those not inclined to click on The Here There and Everywhere Collection in the labels section at the bottom of the post.

I bought an envelope of photos and loose album pages from a dealer who assured me that the whole lot was from an estate sale and was all related.  Of course, I've been collecting things long enough to know that sellers  often tell buyers what they think they want to hear.  In a nutshell, I have my doubts about the story I was given.  A lot of the contents of the envelope are clearly related, including this loose album page, while other stuff, well let's just say that I think some photos got thrown in to make the collection look bigger.

So, an upper middle class family for the pre World War 1 era?  That's my best guess for this particular album page.

The Here, There, and Everywhere Collection-Joe & Dick Again

Joe and Dick in front of a different house, reinforcing my father and son hobo theory.  Click on The Here There and Everywhere Collection for more photos and information.

The Here, There, and Everywhere Collection-Joe & Dick

After yesterday's mansion monstrosity photograph, the more modest home of Joe and Dick in Englewood, Colorado.   Then again, perhaps Joe and Dick were father and son hobos who stopped by the home of a distant relative. 

Click on The Here There and Everywhere Collection in labels....you know the drill.

The Here, There, and Everywhere Collection-The Big House

So, awhile back I bought an envelope full of photos that the seller assured me was all from a single source, an estate sale to be precise.  Now, every time I'm told something like that, I have a tendency to take it with a grain of salt. Antique dealers surely know that photo collectors like true family collections.  Anyway, some of the images clearly go together, and some....well maybe. 

There are a lot of different houses in this collection, but this one is unique.  Let's just say that these are probably vacation pictures.  Maybe England, but then again one of the areas seen in this lot is upstate New York so a robber baron monstrosity is another possibility. 

If you want an explanation for the name I've chosen for these posts, click on The Here There and Everywhere Collection in labels.  There are no photographs on the other side of this loose album page.

The Here, There and Everywhere Collection-Not Twins of Any Kind

I have to admit, this is an incredibly common pose.   Anyway, this photo was mounted on a bit of album page, but since who ever tore it out didn't get a second picture I didn't see a need to show position(lower corner) on the page.

And, click on The Here There and Everywhere Collection in labels and all that.
