An American Dream is the latest book in my series of vernacular photography books. The American dream of owning a home through vintage vernacular photographs. The focus is on the people who lived within the homes as well as the varied architecture from the late 1800s to the 1960s.

A partridge in a hair... clip?
ReplyDeleteEvery holiday season I get two photo cards of two siblings, boy and girl, Each pair unrelated and unknown to each other. Both sets are the same gender, age, and all with red hair. I've always wanted to mix them up to see if the parents could tell the difference.
Oh that would be fun.
