Fashion Forward

collage with oil paint, 8x10

One of our neighbors is a dealer of high end vintage posters.  Over the years, we have gone to his garage sales and bought some cool old posters, like of Push Pin or Olivetti ads, for a great price.  This last sale he had a stack of 1930s-50s French posters that had seen better days.  Too worn for resale, but cool enough for collage, so John bought me the pile for next to nothing.  This collage has elements from one of the posters.

Flying High

carnival, Nikon FE2, circa 1990s

This was taken at a carnival that had set up in a parking lot off a Houston highway sometime in the mid 1990s.  The rides were old and had clearly seen better days, but that didn't stop this girl from having a great time.  Everytime she came around in that bomb shaped rocket, she would flash her smile at me, missing teeth and all.  Pure, simple joy on a creaky, jerky old ride.
