It took a minute to figure out what is happening here, not the four of us playing Monopoly, that is easy, the odd reflection. This is an accidental double exposure. The panelled walls in the background were in the house at the farm, the window blinds are from Edith and Dicks house on the lake. I suspect that the first image was the living room at the farm, there is a Christmas tree in there, and then a second exposure of the living room at Eddie and Dick's lays over that.
You can't see my face, I am standing at the opposite side of the table. I still have the watch I was wearing. My first Timex. It no longer works (I think the mainspring is broken.) It was my first watch.
A rather gay looking top you were wearing.
ReplyDeleteIf knew then, what I know now.
DeleteHow cool. This would be a photo I would have been tempted to toss until appreciating the double exposure.
ReplyDeleteI really had to study it, I am surprised my father didn't toss it 50 years ago.
DeleteDouble exposures! They've gone the way of the dodo bird now with digital photography, haven't they!
ReplyDeleteThis was taken with an Argus C-3, the film advance and shutter cocking were separate functions making it easy to create a double exposure. The next generation of cameras merged those to actions into one, making a double harder to do. There are probably some digital cameras with settings that would allow a double exposure, but it is impossible on the vast majority of digitals.
DeleteI hope this comment finally gets through.....
ReplyDeleteSure did
DeleteNo no.. it's the ghost of Christmas past coming to play monopoly!
ReplyDeleteI think we might have been staying at the lake waiting for the power to come back on from a massive ice storm.
