Hello fellow lockdown-ers. Not a real word, but I'm entitled to make up any word I want while locked in my house.
I doubt anyone will find this post for a long time because, for all intents and purposes, this site has been dead. Nothing going on. I've thought about it, but I just couldn't commit. I haven't even been going to flea markets, estate sales, or antique stores for several years. I knew I shouldn't spend the money so why tempt myself.
However, recently on the way home from Costco I did make a brief stop at a small warehouse/estate sale. I scoured the premises in search of photos and found a few winners which I scored for less than two bucks. When I walked up with a bunch of photobooth shots that were rubber banded together the seller said, "Oh, I don't want to count those. How about a dollar for the lot?" Fine will me. Fifteen shots for a buck. Now that's a bargain.
Now a normal person would look at this photo and see a happy couple having their picture taken by a friend. I, of course, am not normal. I see problems. The smiling wife. The worried husband. The other woman coming between them as a dark shadow. Who thinks there was something going on?

Ah, no, you haven't been forgotten and your post has been found! So glad to see you back again. Congrats on the great find for 2 bucks. A deal, for sure.
ReplyDeleteAbout this photo.... I love seeing shadows of the photographer in old photos. Adds a little mystery.
She's very glamorous. They don't seem quite right for each other, but you never know!
ReplyDeleteWelcome back.
ReplyDeleteOh, they might smile now, thought Gladys, but the next click they heard wouldn't be a camera shutter.She just needed to focus and get the shot right.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad I stumbled by tonight. The world needs vernacular film noir now more than ever. And nice to see you still have the eye for a great photo and the knack to get a bargain too. I've missed you. Will we have to wait until next year for part 2 of the Mysterious Threesome? How about a monthly series at least!
Out of the corner of his eye, Danny could tell Gladys was still fooling with that damn camera. He slid his hand up and gave a quick squeeze. Did she catch that? Nah. She didn't see a thing. And after tonight, she never would.
