I'm really excited to announce that I'm curating a group show of
snapshots from 19 collectors of snapshots in the United States.
The show is going to be during the month of February at MAP in
Easthampton, Mass. I need a little help from you guys to raise some
money so that I can make the show as wonderful as it can be. Can you
help????<br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">In the age of the selfie, it is not surprising
that the paper snapshot still holds a special place in our culture.
Snapshots are the rage and have been the subject of books and major museum
exhibitions in the past few years. The personal printed photo has always been a
way for humans to record family, friends and important life events. They are
about memory and nostalgia. Now more than ever with digital media dominating
our photo memory making and printed photos disappearing from our lexicon,
snapshots exert a powerful tug on us. We still live in an age where boxes
or albums of family photos are tucked away in a closet or attic. To take
them out and view them (or to see them exhibited in a museum or gallery) is to
engage in a voyeuristic ritual not unlike watching a reality TV show. Snapshots
tell us about social conventions, fashion, hairstyles, and what was considered
important enough to be captured via the camera. They are simply history we can
see. </span></div>

photographs since 1999. She is excited by the prospect of this

photo and ephemera shows throughout the country. Her collections can be found

miss an opportunity to share with a larger audience the exciting photo medium
which is the snapshot.”</span></div>

a champion of photography. He has been looking at and talking about
pictures for many years. He has written two books “The Unseen Eye:
Photographs from the Unconscious” and “Hunt’s Three-Ring Circus”. He
lives quietly in New York City surrounded by stuff.</span></div>

I like to think of myself as an aesthetic based collector of
images.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But there is one
area which proves me wrong and that is my interest in “Just Married” photos--or
“JM” for the purpose of this small essay.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Why do I collect such photos?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I guess I was first drawn to the folk art aspect of them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The writing of words on one of the most
American of objects—the car—to commemorate the wedding ritual is a curious
phenomenon.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And sometimes the
words are not written on the car, but instead are printed on pieces of paper
and applied to the car.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Plus, as
these photos show, much more colorful and original comments are to be found on
the “get-away” vehicle than simply “JM”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Generally the photo is all about the car, not the
couple who recently married and who will have to suffer the embarrassment of
riding off on their honeymoon with a very public announcement of their recent
vows. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I haven’t found any
foreign examples of this ritual which might point to the car’s place in society
not exerting the same power as it does in America or it is perhaps just the
sources I use to find material.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
am thinking this ritual is dying out as more people rent fancy cars to leave
the reception or don’t drive to their honeymoon destination but rather just
take a trip on an airplane.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Also
having some sign or writing on the wedding car announcing the recent event was
the one public way of telling the world that the couple was JM.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now we share all via multiple images
and videos on Facebook, a special website, YouTube etc. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

Jackson<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I collect 19<sup>th</sup> and early 20<sup>th</sup> century
U.S. cabinet cards.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I know people
associate me with snapshot collecting, but as the years have passed since the
2007 D.C. show at the National Gallery which used my collection to tell the story
(or a story) of the history of the snapshot, I have searched for another area
which might yield some interesting finds and which there would perhaps be less
competition for images.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I found it
in cabinet cards. The area is rich in content, understudied, undervalued
(generally), and underappreciated (mostly). There is no book written in English
which deals <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">exclusively</i></b> with the cabinet card and its history. Not a one. Nada.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
My thought would be that if ever a museum show is mounted
using as its basis my cabinet card collection (or images from many different
cabinet card collectors) , the last room or final wall would be devoted to how contemporary
artists are using this 19<sup>th</sup> century photo medium as the groundwork
for creating their own art. I am a big proponent of the idea that some
collections find me, I don’t actively look for them. That is the case with
altered cabinet cards. I didn’t know such work existed and then I started
seeing them mentioned on Facebook, etc. And I became intrigued and starting
purchasing a few as a natural offshoot of my collecting the originals.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>People make contemporary dags,
cyanotypes, etc., but the cabinet card is the only 19<sup>th</sup> century
photo medium I know where artists use the physical object as the basis of
creating something new and exciting.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>In other words, I don’t see or hear of many people taking an old tintype
and painting on it (although it has been done to a limited degree).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And while there are altered CDVs, the
larger size of the cabinet card offers a richer canvas for creativity. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Going down this road has meant dealing
with fine art galleries as some of the artists included here are represented by
galleries and don’t sell their work outright to collectors. This work is not
sold as photography, but as painted or collage pieces using the photo object as
its basis.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
So without further ado, I would like to share some examples
of what artists are doing with the cabinet card. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And I should note that this isn’t every artist or altered
cabinet card I own, but a representative sample. There are a few artists who
are still working on pieces which will hopefully end up in my collection.<br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I asked a few collectors to share a new acquisition and and say why they like it. Upon looking at the photos, it seems to me that no explanation is needed, but I've included them anyway. Have an idea for a new blog post? Please share it with me. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The facelessness of the mother and child and the invisible father behind the lens set a wonderful stage. Angle, contrast, and composition enhance the photograph. But, most importantly, memory informs this image for me.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Sometimes verbal material in a photo strikes the eye as a sort of comment. Here the surface crud (which looks like bird shit but unfortunately doesn’t seem to be) adds another layer: it comes across as a visual image of the word and strengthens its comment on the action. Effectively it’s like the action lines or “stink” wiggles in a comic panel. I know just what this garbagy ranter feels like! Probably his listeners are just embarrassed or pretending to be amused.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I came across this little snap drama recently,
and as always, realized it could be the fodder for dozens of stories. I'm not
quite ready to make up a list of possible grievances for our crying man, (maybe
his shirts got lost at the cleaners), but I do know that these recorded moments
are a rare treat for a dedicated snap diver. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">This is a recent purchase that I couldn't justify because it doesn't fit into any of my main collection categories, but somehow I needed to have it. It makes me think of fairy tales — maybe because of the hood and the "forest." Or maybe because of the child's wondering look. Also, the focus/clarity of the crocheting is quite amazing, and the little garment looks a lot like a tea cosy. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I'm very interested in the time(seconds) a photographer takes between seeing what's in front of him, composing the image in the viewfinder, and finally releasing the shutter... It's now etched onto the film plane and one's memory.<br /><br /> Now, which paper to use? How big to enlarge it to recreate this feeling? <br /><br /> Something magical is happening here just because of the paper.<br /><br /> It's just a simple sunset over a lake landscape, right?<br /> But the paper tells another story. It's as if we are seeing it through a screened hotel window. Thinking we did make the right decision - getting the room with a view. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The Polaroid was taken on a TWA jet in April 1962 and came with 3 others of the same guy. Each is in a little folder. <br /><br />The dag measures 4 x 5 and was finished in April 2013. It is a modern daguerreotype by Casey Waters that had an "Invasion of Mercury" spots. He decided to do something a little bit different with it. The scan is an approximation. In hand, the piece has a more uniformly silver tone.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I love coming across photos that unequivocally evoke a particular era, and I think this cyanotype has that quality in spades. For one it’s a cyanotype, a photo process that saw its heyday during the 1890s and the first decade of the 20th century. Then there is the image of happy Edwardian daytrippers (including the dog!) whose seemingly sunny E.M. Forster world, we know with hindsight, would soon be overtaken and lost forever in the storm of World War One. </span></div>

Why do we photo collectors do what we do or think as we do? Don’t know what put this thought in my head, but I decided to go through my collection and find one image which would relate to each of the five senses: hearing, sight, touch, smell and taste. The hardest to find were smell and hearing as how does one convey those in a photograph? Anyway, the five photos below are my take on the five senses. And thanks to Stacy for being such a good sport to allow me to share this with all of you. Now on to the seven deadly sins: wrath, greed, sloth, pride, lust, envy, and gluttony in a future post sometime in 2014…….</div>

In honor of this season which finds us being reminded of our freedom and what this country means to us all, we bring you images of flags that photo collectors have submitted. Even when the flag is photographed in black and white, it has a power to evoke memories of fireworks, pledges of allegiance in schools, camp grounds, and sometimes death. For many people, it is a potent symbol of the might of our country and pride for what we stand for as a nation. It can be a polarizing image and an image which unites us as Americans. It represents many things to many people. We threw in one Confederate flag to keep you on your toes~ Happy Fourth!</div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 120%; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">I don’t know about
you, but I have a soft, soft spot for those felicitous accidents that snapshots,
alone among photographs, allowed and even encouraged. The most obvious of
these happened because snapshot photography was such a profoundly lo-fi medium—the
process was a minefield of random technical noise from start to finish. The cameras
were primitive or at least simple and didn’t always do what was asked of them;
development and printing were slapdash and full of hazards; and very often the
finished prints were neglected and subject to wear and damage. All these impersonal
factors could work in a photo’s favor, even create the point of interest from
our perspective. Here’s an example.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 120%; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">It doesn’t. The
picture is technically as perfect as anyone could expect, and we might as well
assume that it represents the snapshooter’s intention accurately.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 120%; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 120%; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Nevertheless, it is
accidental in one all-important way. It is accidental in the sense that it
happens to resemble an art photo from my or our point of view. We have every
reason to believe it was intended as one kind of photo, but it was lucky enough
to (eventually) look like another kind of photo.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 120%; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 120%; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">In fact the picture got
so lucky that it accidentally gained entree to an aesthetic subgenre that enjoys
some popularity today, the “faceless” snapshot. The snapshooter couldn’t have dreamed
that we in the present would care about the photo that way. There’s a huge
number of more private subgenres; most snapshot collectors have some specialized
aesthetic tastes that are pretty much theirs alone. They may not ever have put
their preferences into words. They may just say, “I like this photo.” But a
snapshot is unimaginably lucky if a collector likes it—that is, if a collector feels
like pulling it out of its original context and placing it in his or her own.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 120%; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 120%; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Otherwise put: this
photo is a found photo, a kind of found object. A found object, by definition,
plays on an accident that allows it to move from one context to another.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 120%; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 120%; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Found objects have
existed since 1914, when Marcel Duchamp spotted this bottle rack in a hardware
store. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 120%; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Now, someone created
this object with eyes wide open, and I wouldn’t be surprised if that anonymous industrial
designer wanted it to look good as well as do its job. But its resemblance to
sculpture is still accidental. Duchamp thought that was funny, and, making a
sort of revolutionary joke, he presented it as art.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 120%; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 120%; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">We do the same with
found photos. We are not necessarily making a joke, and the revolutionary tinge
of our recontextualization has faded a good deal in the century since Duchamp.
However, we are still taking non-art that accidentally looks like some modern idea
of art and presenting it as exactly that. In so doing we are not necessarily saying
that someone didn’t make that non-art deliberately. We are just saying they
didn’t make it as art.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 120%; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 120%; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">So far I am simply laying
out what found photos are, strictly speaking. Accident is part of the idea. But
are we treating <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">all</i> snapshots—all the
photos taken with snapshot cameras that we are able to appreciate
aesthetically—as found photos? Are we twisting them all, or are there some that
we can appreciate straightforwardly the way they were meant to be?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 120%; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 120%;">One promising class of possibilities is the
class of altered snapshots. This hand-colored one is a representative example.<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"> </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 120%;">Whoever did the tinting knew what they were
doing, and I think we can simply say they were good. But of course what we are
appreciating is a painting superimposed on a photo. The underlying photo is as
odd and as mysteriously intended a snapshot as any I have seen. We look at the
photo as a found photo, the painting as a painting. In other cases, of course,
the compound object can be a skilled painting on top of a photo that isn’t even
interesting enough to be “found.” The underlying distinction is that a painting
is always “wrought”—we can see that somebody worked at it; whereas it’s much
harder to see that in a photo.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 120%; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 120%;">Usually snapshot self-portraits are a genre comparable
to mask shots: at the time they were just people goofing, but now they’re an
art category (if a rather tired one). Usually, in other words, a snapshot
self-portrait is a found photo. But this picture seems to be something special.
It’s not implausible to regard it as an incursion from a more art-like
photography. I don’t know if Vivian Maier ever took a Kodacolor snapshot, but
that’s what this photo looks like—it’s like a Maier self-portrait taken with
low-grade (though not <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">too</i> low-grade)
equipment and developed in an anonymous lab like every other snapshot. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 120%; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 120%;">One good response to this rather startling
example would be to say it’s so far out that it proves the rule. But is it even
that far out? I’m not sure. I propose two thought experiments:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 120%; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 120%;">(1) <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Imagine
this photo with technical values more typical for snapshots: problems from a bad
lens, flawed printing, etc.</i> A photo doesn’t tell us why it was made; the
information it imparts is not that kind of information. When we do understand
why it was made, we come to our conclusions based on factors strictly external
to the shot itself—on the way it was made into an actual photograph and the way
that photo is presented. For example, a view of a crime scene would have very
different meanings as an 8x10 glossy and as a snapshot. When we see a Nan
Goldin photo hanging in a gallery, we feel we know why she made it; we would
“know” something else about why it was made if we saw it printed poorly and
at reduced size, pasted into someone’s snapshot album. This photo reminds us of
art, but it would remind us of art a lot less if its technical values were not
exceptional for snapshots.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 120%; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 120%;">(2) <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Imagine
the photographer-subject with a silly expression on her face instead of a grave
one.</i> In this case we would be much more inclined to class the picture as a
well-photographed stunt.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 120%; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 120%;">Can those two factors—the relative superiority
of the photo’s “production values” and the serious expression on the
photographer-subject’s face—really be all that’s telling us the photographer might
have intended the photo the way we see it? I believe so. I don’t say she didn’t,
you understand—more pictures by the same photographer might clinch the case. But
nothing else would.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 120%; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 120%;">Let me put this as clearly as possible. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">A snapshot that we appreciate aesthetically
is a found photo—an accident—unless we have to take the snapshooter as
seriously as we take the snapshot.</i> And that is incredibly rare. </span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 120%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 120%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">It would be easy to think that
snapshot photography is just professional photography dumbed way down for mass
consumption. Its crudity is in fact pretty striking. The equipment is
relatively crummy, and the pictures are taken relatively casually. So maybe
snapshots are what you get if you take some desirable qualities away from
professional photos.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 120%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 120%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"><br />
That’s wrong, though. Snapshot photography is a<i> </i><span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">form of its own</span>. It has some things that professional
photography doesn’t have. That’s because, casual and crummy as they may be,
snapshots are taken for their own reasons and on their own occasions. Their
approach to the world is <i>different</i>, not somehow inferior.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 120%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 120%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"><br />
For example, snapshots permit a subjectivity that’s completely out of bounds
for regular documentary photography. A snapshooter does not feel the
documentarian’s quasi-scientific responsibility to show the world as it is, an
objective world that doesn’t have the camera itself stirring up trouble in it.
The reason is that the snapshooter doesn’t try to be outside anything. The
snapshooter is someone immersed in life who just happens to be carrying a
camera. The documentarian is a looker; the snapshooter is a liver. The
documentary photographer records an event; the snapshooter is part of it. For
the snapshooter, the taking of the picture is probably inseparable from a
real-life relationship. So to say that you can’t intrude on others with your
snapshot camera would amount to saying that you can’t intrude on others. It’s
not nice, perhaps, but you can do it.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 120%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 120%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"><br />
A documentary photographer can’t do it. Photos like these are very rare in
straight photography.</span></div>

There is something wonderfully appealing about
cyanotypes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The images produced
usually are very crisp and clear, but care should be taken in handling the
prints as the paper used for making the images is delicate.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Almost anyone can make cyanotypes and
the process continues to this day being used by photographers and artists.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There is surprisingly very little
scholarly literature on the subject and no general survey exists on the
historical usage and range of the medium in photography.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In addition, there has been no major
museum show on the cyanotype. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I include here an excerpt from Wikipedia which is a
fascinating account of its origin and early usage:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“The English scientist
and astronomer Sir </i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Herschel" title="John Herschel"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">John Herschel</span></i></a><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> discovered this procedure in 1842. Though
the process was developed by Herschel, he considered it as mainly a means of
reproducing notes and diagrams, as in blueprints. It was </i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anna_Atkins" title="Anna Atkins"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">Anna Atkins</span></i></a><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> who brought this to photography. She created a limited series of
cyanotype books that documented ferns and other plant life from her extensive
seaweed collection. Atkins placed specimens directly onto coated paper,
allowing the action of light to create a silhouette effect. By using this </i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photogram" title="Photogram"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">photogram</span></i></a><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> process, Anna Atkins is regarded as the first female photographer.”</i></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
What you will see in the contributions from your fellow
collectors below is how varied the subject matter is within this rather
neglected medium.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If one wanted to
collect an area of photography which is both beautiful and ripe for scholarly
attention, one could do worse than to concentrate on the humble cyanotype.<br />

Guns fascinate people. As an object that typifies America, they are up there with cars, TV sets, and cell phones. They are an integral feature of noir films, and play a major role in movie Westerns. In snapshots they can be evocatively displayed as a piece of sculpture, be scary toys, seen as emblems of macho behavior by soldiers, and are proudly displayed in many hunting scenes. After the cloying sweetness of Valentine’s Day, it is time to get back to reality, so here are some amazing examples of gun photos as brought to you by fellow snapshot collectors. You can find biographies of the collectors contributing photos <a href="http://www.houseofmirthphotos.com/guest-bloggers" target="_blank">here.</a><br />

If you can’t think of anything to say to someone, you can always reference the weather. Snapshooters have always been interested in the various ways that climate and the weather have wrecked havoc on their lives and the lives of others and this entry reinforces that. The manifestations of weather as seen in photographs can be thought of as beautiful or horrific---and often both at the same time. In these dark days of winter and in an era of global warming, let us now give Mother Nature her due and enjoy what your fellow collectors and photo friends have to share on this topic.<br />

(and corresponding catalogue) on photo manipulation and visual trickery prior
to the digital age, which is currently at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (until
January 27</span><sup><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">th</span></sup><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">),
I thought it would be well to share examples from the inventory
of photo collectors which highlight this fascinating area of photography.
The show at the Met is entitled <i>Faking It: Manipulated Photography
Before Photoshop </i>and was conceived and curated by Mia Fineman of the
museum’s photography department. The show will travel next to the
National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C (February 17–May 5, 2013).
It's final stop will be the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston this
summer. </span></div>

its most overwhelming, undeniable form. A good double exposure is an extremely
unlikely compound event, in which two separately recorded images are fortunate
enough, first, to be superimposed on film, and, second, to jointly create a
composite image with some kind of distinction. The snapshooter had nothing to
do with either step. The entire thing is an incredible accident, and we may
feel when we contemplate the result of it that we are really contemplating
something like fate (the impersonal forces that brought these images together)
and something like infinity (the absurdly small likelihood of their having been
brought together interestingly and the absurdly large number of pictures we had
to look through to find this one). And double exposures are not different in
these respects from snapshots in general. They are just more extreme. So, we
may want to believe, the double exposure is the epitome of the snapshot, the
snapshot sharpened to its sharpest point.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 110%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Courier New";">I am not really immune to
any of this. I agree that double exposures are snapshotty, very much within the
genre, and that they take something about snapshots to an extreme. I have many
of them, and I still buy them. Nevertheless, I find that a certain resistance
has set in. Are double exposures snapshot accident in its purest form? Or just
in its flashiest form? I’ve come to feel that double exposures are very often
just flashy.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 110%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Courier New";">It’s important to
distinguish two classes of double exposures, or perhaps they are more like
poles. In the more conspicuo<a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=6470937264872540461" name="_GoBack"></a>us kind of case, we are very
aware of the component images; they retain their meaning, so that when we laugh
(or whatever) at the whole, we are responding not just to the incongruity of
the parts, but to the incongruity between the incongruity of the parts and the
congruity of the whole. This kind of double exposure is a sort of randomly
produced photographic “exquisite corpse.” In a Surrealist composite drawing,
the expressive qualities of the draftsmanship are irrelevant, even distracting.
All that matters is the elements and their successful combination. In the same
way, a double exposure is all too often not expressive like a normal photo (I
hate the word “expressive,” but never mind). The parts don’t carry a feeling,
and the whole doesn’t have one either; that’s not the point of it. It is “good”
or “bad” depending only on the relation between the parts and the coherence of
the whole. A double exposure actually goes further than a drawing in that,
being a photograph, it’s supposed to be a record of something that actually
happened. Taken as a whole, the image flirts with reality: we know what we see
isn’t real, and yet there it is. Chance has produced an image—a <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">photograph</i>—of something that never was. But
as with an exquisite corpse, the greater the incongruity of the parts and the greater
the accidental perfection of the whole, the more we like it. We like it for its
shock value and for its marvelousness. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 110%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Courier New";">The problem for me is that I
am not interested in shock and I am not collecting marvels. I am using
snapshots for roughly expressive purposes: like anyone who is exercising some
sort of aesthetic judgment in choosing among snapshots, I am commandeering their
accidental meaning for my own ends. But what if they don’t have any? Double
exposures in this first class often resist being used the way I want to use
them. They tend to simply beat their breasts and brag about the implausibility
of their own existence. They overwhelm productive use—as opposed to mere
display—because they are all about themselves; they have no content apart from
the ability to inspire awe merely for having happened.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 110%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Courier New";">I compared double exposures
with “exquisite corpses.” Another (somewhat imperfect) analogy may help: a
double exposure is something like a visual pun. Both puns and double exposures are accidental layerings
of components that we are able to take advantage of; a pun contains two
meanings, a double exposure two images. Why is the pun “the lowest form of
humor”? Obviously, because it has no guts. We feel in some way that a mere
superimposition of meanings is not enough. Those stories that end with “we come
to seize your berry, not to praise it” or “pharaoh faucet majors” are truly
silly (at least unless we tell them with some sort of irony), because there is
no larger point. Who cares if <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">these</i>
words sound like <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">those</i> words? On the
other hand, Brando’s “hap-penis” joke in <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Last
Tango in Paris</i> doesn’t make us groan in quite the same way, because it has
a context in the movie that takes it beyond mere verbal trickery. So there are
puns and puns. In somewhat the same way, a double exposure impresses us as a
fortuitous layering of images, but is often empty otherwise. “Wow! It looks
like she’s rummaging in his head!” Well, so what? That “Wow!” is an expression
of amazement that such a thing occurred at all, and I think that pretty much exhausts
what can be made of it.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 110%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Courier New";">The other kind of double exposure
simply creates an optical effect. It has no semantics, so to speak, no clash of
ideas; it gives us no women rummaging in men’s heads, no kids burying or
digging up their elders in the garden, but just an abstract design—some pileup
of bodies or faces, perhaps, or a shape, a composition. Pictures like these are
far easier to use, but I still often find them glitzy.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 110%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Courier New";">I want to stress that any
good snapshot is a statistical anomaly in precisely the same way as a double
exposure. Any good snapshot—though it’s just a scrap of paper!—will still make
the mind expand to meet those two big ideas that I called fate and infinity.
But it will have other properties, too. It will have content. In sum, double
exposures are very often less, not more, than other snapshots. Mathematics and
the stars are behind any good snapshot, but I’m not sure how much we can do
with a snapshot that is about nothing else.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 110%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Courier New";">Here are some double
exposures from my collection. I disapprove of many of them, including, I’m
afraid, the most stunning, “surreal” juxtapositions. But some do have a feeling,
or can be made to carry one in context—they are “expressive,” in my
terminology. The first example actually seems sort of demented. The ghostly
couple looming above the wilderness is one of several that achieve a certain
metaphysical grandeur. And an abstraction like the vortex of machine parts can
be made to bear some weight.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS";">In honor of the
just released book “Talking Pictures” by Ransom Riggs of “Miss Peregrine’s Home
for Peculiar Children” fame, I thought it would be both timely and fun to
solicit captioned photos as our newest photo blog entry.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Riggs’ book is a groundbreaking exploration
of the written words found on the front or back of snapshots. After this book,
I don’t think any of us can look at such photos the same way again.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If the snapshot is about narrative and
memory, those with captions just confirm that in an often humorous but
sometimes more poignant way.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
book also reinforces the idea that the snapshot is an object, something which
isn’t treated by the snapshooter as a sacred piece of visual imagery imbued
with artistic import. The images shared by collectors in this blog were ones in
which the original owners felt a strong kinship and were compelled to make even
more their own by writing something heartfelt or funny on the front or
back.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have decided to let the
photos speak for themselves and limit any words by the collector about their
favorite photo pick for this blog entry.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

separate the taking of the photo and their inscriptions from our age of digital
conversations and photo sharing on Facebook.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The imagery and the accompanying words transcribed on the
photo deal in emotions we know and understand and makes what we all strive to
save and collect something powerful and, most importantly, something timeless
and universal in its appeal.</span></div>

It was suggested to me that I do a group blog on "School Daze" for the start of school. That same day, I came across this photo album page and knew that it was meant to be. There is an interesting assortment of photos below, some typical, some not. What do you remember when you think back to your school days?</div>

We all have days like this: when the world around us seems to move with a purpose and determination that both eludes and seems to exclude us; when our own confusion, inertia, fear or panic, pushes us to that place where our failure to "keep up," or our sense that we're drowning while others swim confidently forward, provoke in us the overwhelming desire to just stop...to scream in a (probably) futile attempt to still the madness. This picture captures that moment (at least in my fanciful reading of it): a moment made all the more intense by the blurred figures moving on the diagonal or seen in profile, the foregrounded one with a discernible smirk, the figure to the right (from the viewer's point of view) of our stationary, screaming protagonist, steely and expressionless behind her sunglasses. What other elements add to this scenario? The two moving women, with their dark sweaters hold their books primly and confidently in the crook of one arm, while the central girl clutches her possessions with both hands; the moving figures are bare-headed, the screaming girl's scarf covers her ears, its paleness and pattern highlighting her sweater-less blouse. The camera caught her at the climax of her vocalization: her whole body is seized with the energy of the voice (her bobby-socked feet are on tip toe on the grass). And then there's that gaping mouth and the scrunched up eyes. This may all have nothing to do with the terrors of school. She could be hailing an unseen friend or erupting in laughter. But I like to think that there's an emotional truth in the image: that singular feeling of being overwhelmed by intense frustration in the midst of a world that is indifferent to everything except its own blithely forward momentum.<br />

These charming young ladies were attending the Irene Lingo Dance School when this lovely image was captured on May 15, 1947. Their innocence, poise and pride are wonderfully conveyed through the lens of the camera. Clearly, these young dancers were under the tutelage of their instructor as they gracefully formed a line. Matching costumes and dance shoes unify this little troupe in preparation for a recital. One can well imagine the beaming expressions on the proud parent's faces as they watched their daughter's artistic movements onstage. Irene Lingo's school seems to have operated out of the Philadelphia region from at least the 1930s into the late 1940s, performing dance recitals in numerous locations. <br />

My photographer friend, Vaughn Wascovich and I spent some time deliberating over the technicalities of this shot. What vintage camera was used? What was the shutter speed? But I feel that this covers it best...A cool autumn day. Kids dressed in their Sunday best for the photographer. Picture day at school. Well behaved children. It appears to be shot in the morning according to the angle of the sun. A warm, lovely sepia panoramic contact print that I found this past July 4th weekend. Not usually fond of group shots, and yet this photo interested me because it pivots around one little girl who is nearly dead center. She's got a self-assured smile and a piercing gaze that looks straight into the camera.<br />

I spent the next few days trying to figure out who she reminded me of and then it dawned on me--Stanley Kubrick's film, "The Shining." A movie where a group photo played an important role at the end of the film. <br />
<br />
The little girl's confident smile among the class of 44 students struck me as similar to Jack Nicholson's character, Jack Torrance and his smile amidst a crowd of party revelers at the very end of the movie. One person sure can make a group photograph interesting. And oddly enough, while I don't know the date of this classroom photograph--my best guess is it was taken sometime in the 1920s--the prop photograph from "The Shining" shown at the close of the movie was dated July 4th, 1921.<br />

This snapshot shows what I imagine to be a one room school house. The image is dated 1919. The posters on the wall are US World War I propaganda: "Hun or Home? Buy More Liberty Bonds," "Remember Belgium," "Beat Back the Hun with Liberty Bonds," "Must Children Die and Mothers Plead in Vain? Buy More Liberty Bonds." Other than that, the walls are empty. This has been one of my favorite snaps for a while now.<br />

I am an avid collector of the "graphics" surrounding photography. I love gem tintype paper frames with their elaborate engravings as well as these simple cardboard frames sold with photo booth or studio shots. We often forget that in the 20th century, the industry of photography was big business. It wasn't just about the photo itself; rather for studios and portrait photographers, it was about how to transform the photo into some sort of decorative object which customers would want to purchase as a souvenir or a memento of some event. And if you had kids, you wanted to have a record of their progress in school and the associated "happy days" which would hopefully be remembered by all in the years to come. <br />

A snapshot of three students outside their school - two boys and a seemingly pretty girl (she has really bouncy shiny movie star hair). The boys both face her, however the boy on the right in the cool letterman has just caught the camera's gaze as he eats something out of a container (yogurt? ice cream?). It was at that moment, the artist decides to click. <br />
<br />
I like moments such as this that are candid and somewhat secretive. We don't see the girl, so we can only wonder what she might be saying, however the boy on the left (who is listening) has a queried look like he doesn't know what to say. She was probably just being silly...boy problems, judging from the boys’ reactions. <br />
<br />
Great example of teenage style of the 1950s as well!<br />

Here are a couple of school-related photographs. The first one, ca. 1910, states on the back that these young children are setting off alone on a twelve-mile trek to school (imagine that!) in a box sled built by their father. The horse's name is Daisy; it's not clear whether the dog stays at the farm or goes along. The second photo shows three winter school buses/sleighs with their horses and drivers in front of a nice-looking brick school building. <br />

Back to school also means back to the gridiron for countless high school and college football teams. While looking through my collection, I realized that I had two very different high school team photos that were both taken in 1915. First we have the students of the elite Lawrenceville Prep School, located in New Jersey, and the other the high school team is from the small logging community of Blackduck, Minnesota.<br />
<br />
I like to imagine what the final score would have been had these two groups of young men been able face off against each other.<br />

Why would a young woman take a nude photo of herself? Narcissism? To send to a boyfriend? Or maybe just to preserve a record of how she looked when she thought she looked beautiful -- to freeze in time her fleeting youth. Maybe she had no lover, had no sense of what she looked like, and simply wanted to see her body as if through another's eyes. Maybe nobody had ever complimented her on her figure, or someone had been critical of it, and she was trying to figure out why. In any case, this particular woman probably didn't mean to take an artistic image, or even an erotic one, but she did. The soft side light, the composition, the blur, the colors -- it's all perfect. But she probably didn't notice any of those things as she watched the image develop. </div>

The Polaroid, or instant photograph, provided erotic thrill seekers with the opportunity to see themselves "in the act" almost immediately. Certainly, without access to a private darkroom, it had been impossible to capture intimate moments such as found above. The instantaneous nature of the Polaroid provided a newfound freedom in photographic expression, giving rise to an entire genre of sexual imagery. Meant only for personal consumption originally, this last image is one in a series of overt scenes which came from quite an unusual source. Discovered in the estate of a pair of nuns (actual biological sisters, too!) in Phillipsburg, NJ, the photos documented various forms of sexual expression, some of which could easily raise an eyebrow or two, maybe more! Instant pix of fevered encounters served not only as mementos of those heated events, but as catalysts for subsequent adventures for the participants. Today, as Polaroid slowly fades away, such prints are difficult to find and very highly prized.</div>

What I like about this image is its straight-forward, direct photograph of (breasts, boobs, tits—choose one). The girls head is cut off, her arms open and receiving. <br />

It's like "Here they are, take a good look. Got it? OK."<br />

I rented an old-fashioned photo booth for my 50th birthday. At the end of the evening, I was surprised to see not one but two erotic posings by friends. This one is humorous; as another friend told me she happened to walk by the booth as this strip was being taken. Through a gap in the curtain she noticed the body part placement was slightly off. "Higher darling, you've got to lift it higher" she said casually as she strolled by.</div>

This image isn’t vintage, but the 1960’s theme gives it an authentic vibe, and I’m perpetually amused by the sophomoric aspect of mooning the camera.</div>

The commercial availability of Edwin Land’s “instant photography” in 1948 ushered in a wonderful era of amateur pornography. For the first time, couples were able to capture and preserve intimate moments. Reliance on commercial processing and pornography laws had previously limited sexually explicit photography to those with access to private darkrooms. The image above is a good example of the products of the new freedom and, like so many similar photos, includes evidence of having been kept in a wallet or manhandled. For me, the framing, the man’s profile, the collection of objects balancing the image on the opposite side of the room, and, most importantly, the mood, combine to create a strong photograph. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The image below is a good example of another category of photos that sprang from the new technology: photographers proudly memorializing their own anatomies. Mirrors were often complicit. In this carefully staged image, the photographer has done his best to prepare for the moment and the hanging towel, the arrangement of dark and light tiles, and the “t-like” composition with the hint of the Polaroid camera do the rest.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The fertile Polaroid era ended abruptly with the advent of digital photography.</div>

I have always liked this one. I guess it's just your average barbershop smut pic. I like the good humor of the two girls. When i lived in Springfield, Missouri, some guy off the square, down near where the architectural salvage store was, had thousands of these photos strewn on the floor in the back room of his shop. They were a dollar a piece. I wish I had bought them all. This one was found on eBay.<br />

For me, the gems are the ones that combine strong amateur photographs with succinct handwritten notes, both of which could survive independently. This real photo postcard possesses all of the important elements. The image is a compelling composition: the geometry of the couple’s interlocking hands and arms capture the viewer’s eye and, ultimately, focus it at the electric connection of the close-eyed kiss, all of which is enhanced by the balance of light and shadow and the manner by which the lines of the horizontal clapboards and shutter slats frame the lovers in the doorway. The blue tone of the cyanotype further provides a dreamlike quality to the magic moment. The simple sentiments, “What’s the use of loving if you can’t love all the while?” and “Homeward bound. Jack” are the frosting on the cake.<br />

And then there's that off-kilter compositional element - those splayed feet lifted and put into your face, yet perfectly frame his own face as well. It's one I often return to for another look. The postcard formatting on the back indicates it may have been printed around May-November 1910. I wonder if he made it safely through the later world events of that decade.<br />

Why would someone take a photograph of a sink? Because of its low vantage point, maybe this photo was taken by a plumber who was proud of his handiwork. Whoever took this image was good at the craft of photography. It's nicely lit, pleasingly asymmetrical, has great contrast, and fits perfectly in the 3.5" x 5.5" postcard format. <br />
<br />
Contrasting with the hard, cold sink is this soft sepia portrait of a nude woman -- a topic almost never seen on a RPPC except as a mass-produced product. This, however, is a private image, printed with a Velox postcard back but never mailed. It's likely that the photographer printed it himself on postcard stock rather than sending it off to Kodak to have it developed. It's erotic yet demure, and has a wonderful "Old Master" quality. The chains around her neck add an elegant touch.<br />

Why is this? After all, RPPCs are often just snapshots printed on postcard stock.<br />
<br />
One important difference between snapshots and RPPCs would even seem to work in our favor as collectors. An RPPC represents a second pass at a picture or pictures already taken. So it allowed for a certain amount of second-order darkroom fiddling, which may or may not have been professional or particularly thoughtful: an RPPC can include an extra layer of ingeniousness, crudity, or total inscrutability. This composite image seems to have been assembled from three separate snapshots. The intended effect is very difficult to guess. <br />

The setting is the Athens Interstate Fair, nestled in the rolling hills of north central Pennsylvania, not far from Elmyra, New York. A group of people are gathered in front of the Crystal Tintype Gallery tent, as if waiting for their turn in front of the camera. The shirt-sleeved guy on the right, removed slightly from the rest of the group, may be the photographer, but we have no way of knowing. Google failed me in yielding up any results about his gallery. The shooting gallery to the right adds more interest to the image. And if you look real closely on the left, you can make out samples of the photographer's wares pinned to the tent. I like photos that conjure up a whole little world and this one fits the bill nicely.<br />

Well yes, that is part of it as I have been collecting beer and soda bottler memorabilia for 30 years. It is addressed to W.A. French & Co. Red Bank N.J. who bottled Red Bank from 1875 - 1920. That is the town I collect and William French is a relative of mine. See my point!<br />

I bought it the first time I went to Brimfield. That may be why he's special to me. <br />
<br />
I hope you like him.<br />

Lilacs,</div>
False blue,<br />
White,<br />
Purple,<br />
Color of lilac.<br />
Heart-leaves of lilac all over New England,<br />
Roots of lilac under all the soil of New England,<br />
Lilac in me because I am New England<br />

A late spring offering of a small part of my flower image collection featuring photographs of the lilac, one of my all time favorites. I can never get enough of that heady perfume, bringing good tidings of warmer weather and sunny days ahead.<br />
Happy Memorial Day!<br />
