The First Hipster

Just hanging out on the beach, listening to music.  Dude smoking his pipe spinning some tunes. A metal tub of beer chills in the background, so you know this was the place to be. With the hand crank power, it might have actually been more portable than the modern versions...since the new one needs electricity and you're tethered by a 60 foot cord.  Check out his sweet, sweet jam... Available as a digital print

She obviously was ahead of her time. 

Vintage Instagram

This was recently a topic in one of my photography groups; Vintage Instagram. Not vintage as in opting to use an old school film filter, but actual pictures from 30, 50, 100 years ago. I collect photos of the abandoned sort; discarded relatives, friends long forgotten, and assorted odds and ends that end up in the thrift stores, garage sales, and antique shops. I started going through some of my old photos after this discussion and some of the photos reminded me of typical Instagram offerings; selfies, food, trips, families, and holidays.  Then, of course, there is my favorite, fashion. So I am going to put my scanner into overdrive and start sharing possibly my largest project. And some of the images shown here will be up for grabs on eBay and etsy.  The collection has grown a bit.
