DORIOT - FLANDRIN - PARANT - 1924
From a good and gracious flickr friend, I am the grateful recipient of several vintage car posters. Not knowing whether this “good friend” wishes to be identified or remain an anonymous benefactor, I will allow this person to decide whether or not he wishes to be known. I am, however, extremely grateful………which I’m sure this individual is aware.
I am in the process of digitalizing these lovely vintage posters - a somewhat daunting task in that I do not have the physical resources (easel, studio lighting, etc) with which to do proper justice to these fine prints. Fact is I mounted a piece of foamboard on the outside of my garage door and have been using double sided, low tack, mounting tape to position the posters onto the foamboard. Obviously not the ideal way to photograph prints but you work with what you have and try to do justice.

............. totally off subject but as I process this vintage poster, I am listening to my selection of Folk / Ballad music (79 songs) and just played a piece of fond nostalgy - "Crazy Mary" sung by Bonnie Koloc. Brought back fond memories of when I first heard Bonnie. It must have been around 1980 something. We were at Steve Goodman's place "Somebody Else's Troubles" on Lincoln Avenue in Chicago. That was the night I fell in love with Bonnie Koloc........
........... yes, my mind works in strange ways.............
