I’ve always got several projects on the go. These postcards of a ballerina were dated September 1914 at Bexhill-on-Sea. They’re the latest addition to my collection of vintage dancing girls, a project running for over 10 years now and amounting to 563 entries. My recent article on this collection in the British Music Hall Society‘s magazine only scratched the surface and there’s much more to come.
I’m still experimenting with pictorialism as a style so here’s the view through the gate and down the lane.
Speaking of views from the house here’s a recent sunset. From the front of the house I look west over the local quarry and there are often spectacular sunsets.
All sorts of ephemera turn up when collecting old photographs, like this knitting pattern. I have a theory that these old patterns will become ever more collectable, not for the patterns themselves but for the photographs on the covers. The amount of activity around knitting patterns on Ebay seems to support this idea.
After a hard morning processing scans and photographs it’s time to relax in the garden and here’s Gnasher finding some shade.
And here’s two of our local squirrels cleaning up seeds that have fallen from the bird feeder.
It’s a hard life!
