| Come on to San Francisco and take a look at the interesting photography at Pier 24. Remember those plastic photo cubes from the 80's? I think it was the 80's anyway. I did have one on my desk. Pier 24 has these giant photo cubes in one room. Pretty fun to see. |
 |
| Somebody worked on these old photos, cropping them but still leaving the whole photo. A frame within a frame...I have been manipulating a lot of vintage photos myself lately so it was interesting to see what someone else is doing... |
 |
| Piles -- and piles -- of vintage photo albums tied up in string and sitting around on the floor. I love it! Looks a little bit like something you would see in my studio. I probably have at least that many photo albums myself...I have been a photographer for my whole career and started in with a Nikkormat at about 14 years old... |
 |
| Some of the pages from photo albums were blown up really large and hung on the wall.... |
 |
| In the display case were lots more photo albums of all kinds....this really was heaven for me to see all these photos...and books of photos... In this age of digital photos living on computers will all these wonderful books just disappear? |
 |
| I recently read people may lose all their photos after time because the new programs won't be compatible with the old software.....I'm just sayin'..... |
 |
| Wouldn't it be sad if that happened? |
 |
| In one room, the artist printed out all the photos uploaded to Flickr in just ONE DAY!!! You could actually go in and walk on them and pick them up... |
 |
| I had to do it.... |
 |
| These photo postcards that are embroidered are still some of my favorites.... |
 |
| I wonder if the artist who made this got the idea from an embroidered postcard? |
 |
| Hope you enjoyed a little walk through Pier 24 -- I had mentioned in another post seeing this show with the folks in my collage class and I thought I'd share it with you. Not exactly mail art but a lovely show. I have stuff I've been making to show you but I have to hold off till the recipients get it. Try to be patient.....(patience isn't an Aries virtue)...so I know it's hard... You will be happy to know the mail is rolling in this week so there won't be any more whining in this post about lack of mail! (Thanks to those who took pity on me and mailed me off something -- much appreciated!) SEND GOOD MAIL -- GET GOOD MAIL |
