Vintage Photograph of a Boat Crew : Vintage Photography : Pictures From My Camera

Got given a vintage photo album by a man called Larry last Sunday.

He bought it some years ago in Cumberland street market for a fiver.

The photographer seems to follow a boat crew, methinks, and the second person from the left and the one on the right are reoccurring in some of the photographs.

The the hardcover bound book is clothed in green with a light orange brown rectangle card on the left that reads ” Pictures From My Camera” with a flower underneath that looks like a Fuschia blowing in the wind …There are about 2 dozen photographs in all. The crew, some different sailing  boats, one the size of the “Jeanie Johnson” and another like a “Galway Hooker”, landscapes and a few street scenes …

What a crew! They look like they’re about to embark on an expedition. There is comfort amongst them and it feels like they know eachother well.

I think the time frame is early decades of the 1900′s. The photographs are very thin photography paper, most of them matte with a few glossy ones.

I’ve been fascinated ever since and want to make it one of my pet projects. I’ll keep updating as time permits, follow the tag ” PicturesFromMyCamera ” on the right or subscribe to the newsletter if you want to keep updated.

Peace and Cheese

Got asked by some good friends to do a shoot based on the 50s’. Wild Child Originals  has been around for some 20 years or so, having been in different premises around Dublin. After several moves, “First time I met the owner Will was in Galway some 15 years where he just had commisioned  an iconic  mural ” Jim Morrison, yr man from “The Doors” in “Shop Street” Galway”, Ah, these were the days.

They’ve just opened a new shop in Drury Lane , Dublin. Well worth a visit. There’s probably somebody you know, somewhere who’s wearing their funky clothes.

The Photographs were recently  published in the Sunday Independent

Photography is  based on Gil Elvgren

From the 30′s through the 70′s,  Gil Elvgren produced over five hundred paintings of  girls and women . Almost all of these works were oils on canvas, and fully developed finished works of art.  He continued to surpass himself, always improving his ideas, composition, color, and technique.
