Tasteful signage in the USA and Denmark, 1955

Time Out for a surgical update.

Thanks, Jack R., Lainey, and all those viewers who sympathized with me over the carpal tunnel surgery.
Here's a photo just taken by my computer showing how insignificant it looks and how well the surgery has healed.

Now, back to our regular programming.

Actually this old Kodachrome was shot on a trip to Maine we took in the summer of 1954.

As was this, just a grab shot with the old rangefinder Contax using film rated at only 10 ASA if I remember correctly. It's amazing how these have held up in comparison to Ektachrome shot years later that faded and the images lost forever.

A painted sign and a gilded eagle carving that were hanging on the wall outside Frank Sylvia's antique shop in Nantucket, June of 1954.

My beautiful young wife mugging for the camera outside the same antique shop. These figureheads were the real thing in those days, before they began being cast in styrofoam.

Nothing could be simpler or more beautiful than this brass sign taken outside a barber shop in Aalborg, Denmark in 1955. It's a basin that was tucked under the chin of a customer being shaved.

A metal sign identifying a post office, also from Aalborg, Denmark, 1955.

More to come, stay tuned.
