I really wish @ddale8.bsky.social would start posting here again.

If you have ever seen lightfastness used to describe materials used by artists... The blue this artist used to do the shading for the coloring of this image, unlike some of the other colors, lasted 100+ years without much fading. #Antiques #Photography

Sort of looks like a family composite photograph you would get from Sears in the 70's But definitely an older crayon portrait Today's clean-up and document task #Antiques #Photography

The glare of a teenager Todays clean up and document task #Antiques #Photography

Once upon a time a hungry insect decide to give this man a nibble Thankfully, the fabulous hair was spared #Antiques #Photography

I would be a good well paid spokesperson for a glass cleaner company Hello Windex?

You click on one pair of Lederhosen and then all of the sudden FakeBook marketplace shows you 1,000 other pairs. All of the Germans in America must be dying or something.

If I were a banned press org., I would use the same most unflattering image for every story about the administration from now on. The worst possible image.

Today's Frame Refresh & Document Missing a chunk at the top, but the portrait is nice If I'm really really bored in the future, I may make a mold and replace that piece #Antiques #Photography

Is it considered bad form to start eating Moon Cakes well before the Mid-Autumn Festival? Asking for a chubby friend

The Sepia Girls Today's clean-up and document task #Antiques #CrayonPortrait #Photography

This should be hanging in a well stocked library Or perhaps on the wall of a book lover I wonder if her mother ever imagined it would be hanging on the walls of strangers 100+ years later Today's clean-up and document task #Antiques #Photography #CrayonPortrait

Anyone who tells me this isn't a fabulous portrait is itching for a fight. Some artists were more skilled than others. Today's sponge bath and document task #Antiques #CrayonPortrait #Photography

Cleaning the dirt out a fan is actually an enjoyable task. IMHO

Collected some loose images today Not sure what I can do with them I'm sure that someone artsy could probably use them for something interesting #Antiques #CrayonPortrait #Photography

Sometimes you have everything you could possibly need, but realize you don't want anything

Two people sold me their grandparents today because none of their kids wanted them I get that we will all downsize to nothing no matter what But I'm not a fan of the concept #Antiques #Photography

Really super duper excited to present MUTE FREQUENCIES today on @wfmu.bsky.social ! They’re a duo and married couple, making sounds in London using sewing machines, toy tops, and more. Lovely people and cool sounds. T00n in 8-9pm on OHITF 🌊

I am the king of buying a second of something I really like just in case the first breaks. "Just in case" is adjacent to hoarding.

Three new (old) things acquired today for my pile in the corner of things to clean and catalog #Photography #Antiques #CrayonPortrait

The news is full of stories telling me to avoid lettuce to remain healthy. I know of ways to avoid that nasty lettuce. #Cyclospora #Lettuce

Today's cleanup task Nathaniel and Mary Frances Moore of Kentucky Found as 3 loose pieces lying in the grass at a barn sale Removed surface dirt from frame and image, resealed with a new backboard, and new hanging hardware Should hopefully last for a few more years #Antiques #Photography

Seems like ever since tariffs started, ALDI is no longer interested in selling a variety of world foods. Their "Finds" aisle is now mostly bags of different kinds of chips with much air. Thanks Obama.

A little flea market shopping today. Perhaps while I am stuck inside during the upcoming heat wave I can do some repair work to keep them alive for a few decades more. #Antiques #Photography

My favorite Rear Window fact The "songwriter" character across the courtyard in the 1954 film Rear Window was played by Ross Bagdasarian, who went by the stage name David Seville. Bagdasarian was most famous for creating Alvin and the Chipmunks. #TCMParty #RearWindow

Before Pixar, There Was The Computer Graphics Lab A new documentary on early CG animation www.youtube.com/watch?v=GiW3...

Attack of The Clones is really a challenging movie to sit through. Since they are all on sale and I haven’t seen anything past 6, I thought I would watch them all. #StarWars

Whomever invented the butter pockets in waffles was a fricking genius IMHO

Military service or military academy uniform? Crayon portrait on canvas Need to do some simple edge repair on the frame. #Antiques #CrayonPortrait #Photography

Brothers In Arms I wonder if they had 9 copies of this created I've never seen a crayon portrait with so many faces It seems like it should be in a museum One of my all time favs Should be easy for me to clean up and fix the corners #Antiques #CrayonPortrait #Photography #WWI #Army #WW1
