Art & Inspiration Traditional images that need no explanation.

1960s pic of the Melbourne to Devonport Tasmania car ferry. Princess of Tasmania.

 

Then his right knee has a thumb. I looked closely too.
Her hand is on top of his, and his is on her waist.

 

The negative was flipped, the fuel inlets were on the wrong side and the blower would spin the wrong way pumping down the middle rather than around the sides of the case.

 

The Niekamp roadster, as much as I like it I like that ‘32 Cabriolet even better. A Cabriolet was my very first car, but no money, tools or even a garage ended that dream.

 

Your right. Now her fingers don't look right nor her left foot?

 

I don't know the girl, but maybe she has big feet or big hands, or maybe its the angle the old camera captured her image.

Its an old picture. I'm sure whom ever took it was not going to think it was going to be scrutinized all these years later. The person that took it probably thought they were capturing the moment for a few friends to see all those years ago.

Old pictures are a chance for us to catch a glance of a point in history. Consider the original reason the picture was taken, before you spend a lot of time analyzing it, some were merely meant to be enjoyed, while others were intended to show something important. Invest your time to scrutinize the pictures that are trying to show something important. Enjoy the pictures that were probably meant to be enjoyed.

Everyone is so critical these days.

 

I agree. There is too much concern about whether these photos are original or altered. My opinion is, so what? If you like the picture, that's fine, give it a like if you want to. If you don't like it... I don't care, just move along. No reason to comment.

 

Here's another thing that bugs the shit out of me. If you make a comment on a post, quote it or give some reference to what the hell you're talking about. Don't wait until three pages and 50 posts later to say something like, "I don't think that's a good color for this car and it should have a 53 Desoto bumper instead of that one."

 

Can anyone tell us when and where this picture was taken?
