::: ataricharm ::: has added a photo to the pool:
The idea for this photo series started with a photo Brynna posted back in December. www.flickr.com/photos/12050385@N05/2147100166/. I thought the Cub Scout shirt was a great styling idea for some pin-up images, and we started collaborating.
We had started collaborating on some ideas for a shoot, and knew we wanted to shoot images with pinup styling. Then, in the first week of January, the Library of Congress started posting a stream of color images from the 30’s and 40’s. It’s a wonderful collection, and if you haven’t seen it already, you owe it to yourself to check it out (http://www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/collections/72157601355524315/). Anyway, as soon as I saw this stream, and that there are no known copyright restrictions on the images, I thought it would be a fun photo project to echo Brynna’s orginal idea, but really trying to blend her into some of these vintage images. Hence the “NOW and THEN” titling of these images.
The original image used for this composite shot, was shot by Jack Delano and published in 1943, and is called “John Kelseh, blacksmith, at his forge in the blacksmith shop at the roundhouse, Rock Island R.R., Blue Island, Ill.” It can be seen here:
