AJ, thanks. This is one of my favorite photos in my collection. I always think of the Diana Arbus shot of the boy with the hand grenade. This poor little thing looks so bored.
Maureen, Oh, I think she's fight you for that doll. There are quite a few shots of her with the doll. A very nice one of her sitting next to a Christmas tree with it. I think it went everywhere with her.
Christine, You're right. She looks like Sally. "See Sally. See Sally stare. Stare Sally, stare."

What is Tattered and Lost?
Tattered and Lost is about some of the found and/or vernacular photography in my collection.
Unless you're an incredibly organized person you probably have a few stray photos tucked away that you've forgotten about. No matter how many family members or friends say they love you, sooner or later, a photo of you is going to slip through the cracks and end up in the hands of someone who knows nothing about you. Such are the photos at this site.
Photographs of the ordinary by the ordinary.
All photos are from my private collection. They may not be used in any manner without my permission. I retain all copyrights. Contact me if you wish to use one of them. You might be surprised by my answer.
All words are mine. I own them. Okay, well, the person who invented each word owns them. But I own my thoughts. It's about all I own. Don't steal my thoughts.
Good one! Perfect photo for the day. I couldn't find one photo in the archives that was appropriate.
ReplyDeleteHey! Gimme back my doll!
ReplyDeleteLooks like something right out of Sally Dick and Jane, except without those Easter colors.

Fantastic image!
ReplyDeletePsychedelicsister, thanks. I remember when I first saw it thinking how great it is. A lot going on in its simplicity.
