Here’s one crazy photo from my old photo collection! When I first saw this one in a basket at an antique shop, I passed it over. But as I walked around the shop, I kept thinking about it and decided to pick it up. There’s just something funny about the way her head is framed in the window and the unusual composition. It sticks in my mind.

I wonder if the composition of this photo is due to the perspective of the photographer. He/She just couldn’t get up any higher in order to see more of the subject… On the back of the photo, a name is written in pencil. I can’t make out the last name, but first name is Alice. I wonder what room of the house Alice is standing in, and what prompted this photo session.

Polaroid is discontinuing instant film!!
From savepolaroid.com:

On February 8, 2008 Polaroid Corporation announced that it will discontinue production of the instant film that made the company a household name.

Just discovered this today, and as a fan of Polaroid photography and collector of vintage Polaroid cameras, I am saddened. Visit www.savepolaroid.com to do your part in the campaign to save instant film.
