Enhancement - Looking for Lost Details - Page 67

$
0
0

For some, an old photograph loses its charm when "restored" to modern day clarity with the yellowing and fading corrected. Some photographs however, benefit greatly from just a nudge of enhancement.

An improved contrast or the reversal of the yellowing brings out details that otherwise would have been missed and lost forever.

To please both camps of those who rescue old photographs, here are both the originals and the enhanced of just a few of the latest additions to Lost Gallery.

Again, there are some really good examples this month, where a little boost made a great difference. As always, little or nothing has been "repaired" but just enhanced a bit.

There are portraits and action shots and there are landscapes and interiors. There are many photographic subjects. When we page through the albums we have various oo/ah reactions. Beauty and humor, memories and nostalgia; each photograph sparks it's own comment and reaction.

But here now is a collection photographs that make the observer ask just one question:

What is going on here?

Sometimes there's an answer, but sometimes not.

Back Page - The Traditional Baby Gown

I wonder who started this tradition.

Dress the baby in a smock that is sometimes twice the length of the child. Perhaps they are expected to "grow" into it.

There's nothing wrong with the tradition that I can think of. It's just that I wonder how a simple idea got so widespread. There must be a reason behind it.

Baby in Smock

Of course it is also called the "Christening Gown." The gown is often passed down generation to generation making it a family tradition.

Very often, notations on the reverse of these found photographs are obscure or too brief or illegible. Most often there is nothing at all.

But now and then there is a message from the past that sparkles.

Back in March of 2009 LOST GALLERY had a full page of photographs and their very interesting reverse sides. There have been many new additions to the collection since then.

Here is a new group of those photographs with mysterious, funny and sometimes puzzling reverse sides; tiny bits of history, reaching out to us over the decades, sometimes a century.

Graduation Portrait

Here is a category that has grown in LOST GALLERY over the years. It's time for a page devoted to

Graduation Day.


It's a difficult and certainly long, journey to that final day of school. Here's that shiny new adult, dressed in the graduation ceremony traditional togs of the day, diploma in hand, ready to take on the world.

You remember how it was. As a parent or one of the grads, it was a proud day.

Seniors '48

Back when school pride was an undeniable element, when an education was a goal, not a sentence, when the small town high school teams were the featured entertainment every Friday night, signs like these were tradition. These “seniors” signs usually appeared overnight on the town water tower sometime around the local school graduation ceremonies. If the town’s water tower was inaccessible, it appeared instead on a board fence or on a wall of an old building. Sometimes it was a new sign. Sometimes if the old sign happened to survive a year’s weather, perhaps only the date was advanced. It was a senior class tradition; A bit of traditional vandalism, like out-house tipping or toilet paper wrapped trees.

The seniors often used whitewash, which was white and yes, often washed away in the next rain. But sometimes any available house paint from someone’s garage shelf would have to do. Some signs, and maybe some years were more permanent than others.

This graffiti is now more than 65 years old. This Senior Class sign itself is a senior.

Things change, yes they do. Things change, but sometimes not very much.

"You look great Honey. Stand over by the car and I'll take your picture!"

It is hard to decide which the boyfriend liked more, the girlfriend or the car, sometimes. I guess he figured if the girl ran away, he'd still have a good picture of the car.

And it looks as if the practice has been going on a long time.

At the Beach.

Page Seven was getting a little crowded again so here we go with
PAGE EIGHT!

The trip to the beach almost always includes a camera. LOST GALLERY rescued photographs taken at the beach are plentiful, rivaling pictures of children and cars and Mom's new dress.

So let's go to the beach. ... or the lake or the creek, or the pool...

Some of these are family gatherings, others are guys showing off and then there are the glam pictures of mom or the girlfriend. Most are really poor snaps while others are from professional itinerant photographers out making a buck at the beach.

As you review the many prints on these pages, think about the conversation that preceded the shot. Think about the expressions on their faces, the hot day, the sea air, the sounds. Are you there yet?

What decides if a portrait is full length or head and shoulders?

If you can see the elbows, it's not a "head and shoulder" portrait.

Group Portraits in the Studio

$
0
0

Today it seems, everyone carries around at least one camera, all the time. They take pictures of their lunch, their dog and things lying on the ground. And "selfies" are the popular portrait today. With all that convenience it's easy to forget that in the early days of photography, getting your picture taken involved finding a photographer (within a half day's travel), going to his studio on a sunny day (by appointment only) and waiting a week (or maybe two) to see the resulting portrait.

In the studio, usually on the second floor over a hardware or grocery store, one had to sit very still for several seconds, without moving eyes or lips to get a sharp portrait. There were braces and stands to aid in holding a pose.

It was difficult with the slow film and clunky camera equipment and fidgety subjects, especially children.

Even more difficult were the group portraits, where everyone had to pose rigidly still, stare at a spot somewhere in the distance without blinking, clench the jaw to reduce facial movement and generally hold very still while the photographer removed the lens cap from his big box camera and counted off the exposure time in seconds before replacing it. It was quite a production.

On this page LOST GALLERY has collected some of those group photographs posed in the studio, mostly from the closing years of the 19th century.

Sometimes a professional group portrait is not in a studio at all. It might be "on location" as the movie makers sometimes call it. It does not change the fact that it is a professionally arranged and photographed portrait. Here is one such portrait, not in the studio but certainly professional work.

BACK PAGE - C'est la Guerre - Page Five

There's a LOST GALLERY page called
OUR MAN AT THE FRONT.
It is for those photographs of a person in a uniform, posing alone probably in a back yard or on a porch at home.

There is another page called
A GIRL AND HER GUY IN UNIFORM.
That page is for a couple posing together, one of them in an armed services uniform.

This is the second LOST GALLERY page called
C'EST LA GUERRE
with all war related found photographs.

Throughout the Lost Gallery there is an occasional snapshot that is about one of the wars, sometimes just a soldier posing in a uniform. Some are taken at war fronts; others at training bases. Sometimes they seem unrelated to the rest in their album or set. Usually they are unidentified in any way.

C'EST LA GUERRE is a category just for those photographs.

Perhaps you will see something familiar here.

There are MANY photographs on this page so it may load slowly.
Note: There are gaps left for new additions.

This page has had extensive updates since it was first posted five years ago, so it has been brought forward to the current date.



Most often a found photograph is of unknown people by an unknown photographer. Occasionally the names of the people in a photograph are written on it later. But, very seldom do we ever learn the name of the photographer.

In the case of the Cabinet Card and the Carte de Viste (CDV) the photographer's name or studio name is often included as part of the mounting. It is sometimes at the narrow end of the mounting board on the front and sometimes it is presented in an elaborate fashion on the reverse of the card.

This page of the LOST GALLERY will present all of the CDV mounted photographs in the collection where the photographer is known.

The name of the photographer will be repeated in the text so that it can be included in internet searches by Google and Bing and the rest.

As more information about the photographer emerges it will be added here.

Many of the photographs on this page have been enhanced for clarity. To view the original untouched version, click on the picture and you will be taken to the Flickr page where it is stored. The original should be close by.

Special events do bring the cameras out. And years later, we often have no idea what the snap shots are about.

So after wandering around LOST GALLERY for a few hours, these photographs were gathered that also seem to be about some celebration or ceremonial activity.
