Perhaps someone from down-under will let us know.<br /><br />So far I've yet to find a sideways photo. If you see one let me know. It's possible there's a whole new genre out there to collect. I believe the Yardbirds said it best with "Over, under, sideways, down."Tattered and Losthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00208918251232477186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2654707306721822289.post-22053976057585330382010-04-03T06:04:28.595-11:002010-04-03T06:04:28.595-11:00Well, maybe he's like Australian or something?...Well, maybe he's like Australian or something?

And since the other copy of this that I have is right-side-up this most likely was the last upside down one done that day. I'm taking very good care of it and figure I'll either be able to retire on this or if I'm feeling I need a legacy I'll donate it to SFMOMA. I've still got a few years to decide.Tattered and Losthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00208918251232477186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2654707306721822289.post-59959143003921503022010-04-03T05:10:01.705-11:002010-04-03T05:10:01.705-11:00I have seen these images before.

Most of these were returned to the processor for a refund.

Well, I did find a snapshot that was printed on the wrong side of the paper and another that was completely blank. But this is really unique!

"Fez Boy with Humpy the Camel". I believe it was only shown once in a silent movie theater in Pacoima and never saw the light of a projector again. I mean, everyone kept yelling and pelting the screen with pocket watches because it was obvious the film was broken since it played all the way through upside down. Which means this was a publicity shot. I imagine few exist. Oh the value keeps rising!Tattered and Losthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00208918251232477186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2654707306721822289.post-23286910289270383782010-04-01T20:16:07.864-11:002010-04-01T20:16:07.864-11:00Poor chap and condemned to be that way up for ever...Poor chap and condemned to be that way up for ever - terrible!

So we...Wow, I hadn't even thought of that!<br /><br /> So we'll give the photographer a break for printing this upside down since he was able to get this guy's hat to stay on and get a sort of smile out of him.<br /><br />Real shame the photographer will go through time unknown. So glad I was able to salvage this from the dustbins of history.Tattered and Losthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00208918251232477186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2654707306721822289.post-88418396700023544682010-04-01T13:26:39.071-11:002010-04-01T13:26:39.071-11:00What's strange is that his fez didn't fall...What's strange is that his fez didn't fall off.Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00691146231054795824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2654707306721822289.post-62482470843354820112010-04-01T13:11:14.936-11:002010-04-01T13:11:14.936-11:00And did it have a calming effect?
