Ok , So this is really from a Kodak Christmas ad from 1959, Which would explain the little bit of color in Joe’s hair, but other wise pretty spot on. It just proves that if you don’t know your photographic history you are doomed to repeat it.

This last sunday I bought another collection of old photos, nothing big, $20 for a box of about 100 photos. They ranged from the 1910’s to the 1950’s. When I buy that many photographs I always go through them together.
Occasionally you find other things amongst the photos, letters or other papers. Sometimes they give you insight into what peoples lives were like, sometimes they tell you stories. With this latest group I got a story, a tragedy. I found the news article in a plain white envelope, and thought it was odd that someone would keep such a memory. The story is of a 3 year old girl named Patricia Branson.

Oh Crap ! I am having an existential dilemma, Ansel Adams over here just asked me to smile and I have no teeth. How can you smile with no teeth? Are you done? because I need to get back to my job at the lemonade and fudge factory.
