But I knew that someday those pictures would be used in a future art project. Once I created one, I was addicted. I am definitely going to start scavenging through some antique stores for new material, as I have already used up what I had "in stock". It bums me out because a few years back when I had decided to launch Razberries, I had bought some old photographs from a bin at an antique store somewhere up in Maine with the idea that they would somehow be made into cards. This was before I even owned a decent printer, Photoshop, or a scanner. Of course, I have moved so many times, that I either threw them out inadvertently, or they've been misplaced.
I distinctly remember the bin at the antique shop being labeled, "Create your own family." I thought it was a funny little sign, but I was intrigued, so I dug right in. I sifted through at least fifty photographs. Ones of families, of children, of pets, and special moments...It was a bit sad but interesting at the same time. Sad because someone had taken those photos, and at one point, those people and things in those pictures meant something to someone. To have had them last so long and be in the condition they were in, I believed that there was perhaps a little old lady who had passed away, and had no living relatives, and her items were just thrown wherever into the universe.
I guess I am overthinking it too much. I personally love photographs, especially old ones, because they help remember what you did years ago, how you used to look, friends and places of your past that you may have forgotten about...Anyhoo, here is one of my favorites. I have two (!) interviews tomorrow, so wish me luck! I am so sick of being unemployed. Have a good night!
