Histories of Newark: 1758-2008 Monday April 09 2007 06:12 pm
Favorite citizen photos / week 2
We added another two hundred or so ‘citizens of Newark’ to what we hope to be a 212 foot-long strip of 1″ high photos. It was a bit of a slow weekend with Easter and also a weekend that was colder than Halloween, Christmas, and New Years. So much for global warming, I guess.
A hispanic group with perhaps someone’s father who played hard-to-get. After taking the rest of the group in two photos, he agreed. You can see his son(?) in the photo a second time.
Two young women who had just bought a nice historical poster. Kind of fit the occasion quite well.

We like it when people bring props and this quilt hit the spot. It was inscribed on the back in ink that looked like it was written yesterday and dated 1851. It had been in their family 155 years.
Three women doing the Abbey Road image. I kind of fell for it as I’ve really done the Abbey Road image in London.
Another person with props that say something about them. And yes, “War is gauche.”
Several people have gotten in front of the camera and asked what they could do. My pat response is, “Can you stand on your hands?” The answer has always been “No.” Except this time. It took three tries to get almost up.

The fourth time was a tad over-the-top so to speak. Here are the results on our white seamless. A bit of white duct tape and all was repaired.
