Depression Era Photos

I really love these kinds of photos. It might be because we grew up with a lot of books of photos like this in our house, I remember getting lost in the pages of these books, just looking at the people and wondering what their stories were, who they loved, where the dirt under their nails came from, what they saw when the lights turned off, etc. 

I found a bunch of depression era photos on this site, shorpy.com and I highly recommend that you give their photo archive a few glances. 

Photos from around the house

--I have been drinking so much Hot Chocolate recently. It's so good. 

--Flowers still blooming in October. 

--Goods from the farmers market. 

--Hat. 

--More of that hat. 

--I love that this photo looks like it might be black and white but its actually not. 

I am a little upset about the camera that I bought on EBAY. This is what happened, it arrived in the mail and I realized that the thing didn't come with the memory card. So like $13.95 later I had one and everything was great. Then though, I realized that the battery was running low. No problem just stick it in the battery charger that came with the camera. Except, except, that the charger that came with the camera was not the kind of charger that you need to charge a camera battery. Its like some AA battery charger from the 90's.

Don't expect many photos for a while because I need to wait till my replacement battery charger gets here.

Tomato

I am obsessed with GIMP. Seriously. Also this is a tomato from our garden. It was delicious. 

Photos From Around the House

-Been knitting up a storm over here. 

-I love the way that our house looks at night. 

-Our house was so messy this morning. Sometimes mess is beautiful. 

-I got these "grapes" from the farmers market. They are called Muscadines. So good. 

-Ketchup and Mustard colored hat. 

Youth

Generally I don't like it when people put photos of kids on their blogs, in fact in the blogging world, of serious bloggers, it's sort of an abomination. But now I am going to give up a post these shoots of my niece and Nephew. Think of them not as photos that show children with chubby faces and short arms and legs, but as an expression of spring time. These children have what we do not have, youth, they are so close to the beginning.
