One of the many great things about being a food photographer is that it provides a perfect excuse for buying what ebay terms kitchenalia, although sometimes things can get a little out of hand, in the last week or so not only did I buy this wonderfully embossed baking tray, but a set of elegant Norwegian cutlery, a large red cast iron chinese style teapot (complete with dragon design), a tray and a frying pan! The shots below initially started out simply as a way of showing off the tray but has ended up being the basis of a super easy roast plum, honey and cinnamon recipe (more of that latter).

can't believe I forgot to upload these pics when my ebay vintage button case arrived - it was a sales display piece, the buttons are all still in their different sales boxes with the old prices pencilled on - just gorgeous and the whole case and all its contents were just £21!
Все счастливые семьи похожи друг на друга, каждая несчастливая семья несчастлива по-своему.
The fellow that sold these two tintypes on Ebay claimed that they depict a married couple. mrwaterslide asked if he had any more information and the seller said that the two tintypes had been housed in paper sleeves, but that the sleeves had deteriorated and he had discarded them. The photos came from "New England," and he thought the gentleman had been a sea captain.
One of the joys of Ebay is the stories that sellers tell (i.e., make-up) about the photographs they are trying to peddle. There's one shyster out of Chicago who posts
the same set of photographs every week or so. Heck, maybe he keeps posting them because no one ever buys them. More likely is that he has an unlimited supply. The photographs are cheap (undoubtedly) reproductions of cabinet cards, depicting Geronimo and Wild Bill Hickok and Calamity Jane and that sort of folk. The seller always says the same thing about the photos: he doesn't know if they're authentic, but he found them at a flea market, and they could be the real deal, "You be the judge." Any photograph with even a passing (and sometimes not even a passing) resemblance to Mark Twain, or Abraham Lincoln, or Jesse James comes with the suggestion, if not the vehement assertion, that yes, this just might be the true gen, The Holy Grail.
Those hoaxes mrwaterslide usually can sniff out. But as to this pair of photographs, and the allegation that these two were a married couple, is mrwaterslide a Believer?
As the fellow said in The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance: "This is the west, sir. When the legend becomes fact, print the legend." Of course, this is New England, sir, but the sentiment stays the same---if these two weren't married, then they shoulda been, and on mrwaterslide's photostream, they are now.
There is a bit, just a bit, of internal evidence to contemplate. The two tintypes are the same size, and that blank background is the same in both. A nice twist is the triangle of darkness that's top right in his photo, and top left in hers. That would make for an interesting touch in a custom mat, and cause the two photos to incline towards each other, if they were framed together (mrwaterslide has a dream of framing them together).
In memory (the tintypes have been living under a glass table top in the junk room, which is literally so full of junk (frames and photographs and junk junk) that it is now almost impenetrable, so they didn't get looked at a lot), the photograph of the girl lived in mrwaterslide's head as someone willful and pissed, a combustion of seething anger at having been yoked to this stern lecherous old toad. Well, it's not quite that bad. She seems willful and self-possessed. Is He standing back there with the photographer while the tintype is taken? She would have to present in a certain way if Hubby was in the room.
Let's get down to the nitty-gritty. Did they share a bedroom, or did she have a room down the hall, and, of a night, did he come padding down the hallway in his nightshirt and barefeet? Can't you imagine her, lying in bed, waiting for the sound, the house creaking in the wind, the windowpanes chattering in their dried-out frames.
Look at her, that wild Medusa-mane, that jet-choker, those eyes that assault the lens. She must have lived for the days (or weeks, or forever, please Lord, let it be forever) when he went out to sea, when she could galvant around town and spend Daddy's money. Did she flirt with the grocer (or the banker: who was at the top of the tier in small-town, mid-nineteenth century New England society?)? Was she pious in church?
What was a young girl thinking when she married an old codger, back in them days?
Was she calculating the odds? Who put her up to it? Did she think it up, did she seduce him into seducing her (it happens). Did her parents know that his first wife was dead and that he was in the market. Did her Daddy drive the bargain.
Of course, the real story is, as they say (warning, cliche ahead) Gone With The Wind.
Oh yeah, that quote. It's the most famous first line in all of fiction (The Bible being, of course, fact). From Tolstoy, but then, you knew that, and you knew that it's from Anna Karenina. Beginning writers often rebel against the verity of the line, but there it is, and, really, resistence is futile. What Tolstoy (or was it God) said, was this:
Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.
What can you get for £25 these days?
Nicely broken in canvas bag, 3 old flash guns to use as slaves, extension tube set, Nikon F70 35mm camera, Nikon 35-70mm, Sigma 50-200mm and Sigma 70-300mm macro lens.
