PHOTO ART

I AM VERY PICKY ABOUT WHAT HANGS ON MY WALLS FOR SOME REASON. I AM NOT REAL BIG ON A TON OF COLOR, AND ALSO FINDING ART THAT'S AFFORDABLE YET DIFFERENT THEN "WHAT EVERYBODY ELSE HAS", PRODUCES A MAJOR CHALLENGE. I WAS BROWSING THROUGH THE NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY DIGITAL GALLERY ( WOW THAT'S A MOUTH FULL )AND HAD AN IDEA. I SAW ALL THESE GREAT OLD PICTURES FROM THE 30S AND 40S OF EVERY DAY LIFE AND BUILDINGS THEN, AND I THOUGHT HOW COOL WOULD IT BE TO HAVE ALL DIFFERENT SIZES OF THESE HANGING ON THE WALLS, BUT DONE TO LOOK LIKE THEY WERE ON  A CANVAS.  IF YOU STUDY THEM LONG ENOUGH YOU CAN CATCH A GLIMPSE OF WHAT LIFE WAS LIKE JUST SEVENTY, EIGHTY YEARS AGO, AND EACH PICTURE SEEMS TO TELL A STORY. THE AWESOME THING IS, THAT ALL THE IMAGES AT THE N.Y.P.L.D.G. ARE FOR SALE. I CAN CHOOSE WHICHEVER ONES I WANT AND HAVE THEM PRINTED FROM SIZES 10" TO 30" AND HAVE THEM SHIPPED RIGHT TO MY DOOR. SO HERE ARE SOME OF THE ONES THAT I HAVE FOUND SO FAR THAT I LIKE. TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK...

THERE ARE SO MANY IT'S REALLY HARD TO CHOOSE WHICH ONES TO GO WITH. I REALLY LIKE THE LAST TWO. THE WOMAN AT THE LAMP POST, WITH THE BOY LOOKING AT HER AND THEN THE SIGNS IN THE NEXT PICTURE. DEFIANTLY GOING TO ORDER SOME AND TRY IT. HOPE Y'ALL HAD A WONDERFUL WEEKEND :)
