Back Page - The Pets - Page One


cat

Over the years LOST GALLERY has acquired lots of photographs with pets and farm animals in them. Most often the photo will include the pet owner or a child or just someone holding the animal. For this Back Page the feature will be mostly photographs of the pets all by themselves. What characters they are when posing before the camera.

This is "Blame" the dog, as a pup.

Sitting in a canvas director's chair, foretelling his own future, Blame was to become friends with many movie directors, including Tim Burton and the Coen Brothers (one at a time).

But not Mel Gibson.

Some chairs they let me sit on and others they don't. It's very confusing.

Scooter didn't know what was going on. And he didn't care much. He just knew they were getting awfully close to that pork rib he buried last week just a few feet from here.

"Yeah? Well, I ain't to pleased with the size of things either!"

What's all the fuss?

  1. You have some classics here. So often the animal shots you find in a box of ephemera and better off left in the box, but these are great because the animal's personality comes through. Animals doin' animal stuff. I especially like the dog and cat playing.

    I was just sorting through a box at an antique store today and there were rabbits rabbits rabbits! I didn't buy any. They didn't "speak" to me.

  2. Yes, I noticed that too. So often the pet is with someone. Not often does one find the pet alone in a snapshot. I decided to make a page just for these characters.

    I know what you mean. When sorting through old photographs I find ones that seem to be just waiting for me to see it. It is full of stories and questions and activity. They do indeed speak!
