Lost & Found Photos

Lost & Found Photos (TheCameraObscuraEtc.blogspot.com) is my new blog -- a companion blog to this one. In it I will post images of the many, many photos in my collection that I love, but for which I don't have plans to make reproductions to sell in my Etsy shop. These are some of my favorite photographs, but not necessarily the kind I would expect mixed-media artists to purchase to use in their work. However if at any time you see an image in Lost & Found Photos of which you would like a reproduction, you can contact me, and I can have a custom print made for you.

Connor







Connor and friend. What happened to Connor’s nose?

I adore this photo. Look at the pose, and the symmetry of the two boys and the two horses. Where are they going and where have they come from? The friend wears a U.S. Army / Air Force t-shirt. Are they military? On leave? Just what is their story?

Date unknown.

Woman on the Rocks









A lovely, hand-tinted portrait of a woman sitting on a large rock in a field, surrounded by other standing stones. She wears gloves, boots, a wide-brimmed hat, and a coat with fur-trimmed collar and cuffs. The palette of colors in this photo is subtle and delicate.

The rocks by which she is surrounded cause me to wonder if this is a photo from Great Britain or Ireland, though the location is unknown. She has a slight Mona-Lisa-esque smile and a distant expression. I think this photo would make a beautiful foundation for a collage or assemblage.

Date unknown.
