Possibly the most popular subject of the amateur photographer is children.
In the past, LOST GALLERY has collected photographs of children on pages called:
The Studio Portraits
The Kid in the Tub
The Goat Cart
Cowboy Suits
Child on the Front steps
Boys in Dresses
Three Children
Vintage Child Holding a Chicken
Girls and their Dolls
Baby on (Running) Board

This collection will be mostly of amateur snapshots of children; basically a child or two standing out in the yard, or just busy playing. There's a pro shot here and there.
Remember, as always, you can click on any photograph and go to the Flickr site. Click on it again there and get the largest size available.
Three of the most popular baby poses: the hospital identification shot, the christening gown and the old bare butt shot.
These three are probably professionally shot.
Here's that List Again:

THE KIDS 
It is always a mystery how a photograph of any of these precious children could end up lost or abandoned. Here are a few. You will probably say "Ooh..." at least once.
Dee and the Business School 
The beautiful Dee. A curious story; What do you see?
WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?
"What are they doing?"
So much of your blog is like looking at a display of colors at the paint store. Each individual hue is as beautiful as any other.
ReplyDeleteBut the last two - the baby on a dog and the boy against the barn are striking for their accidental art.
Thanks Mike Brubaker. I think that was part of the original Idea or LOST GALLERY: to assemble abandoned photographs of a like subject hoping it would create an atmosphere of comparison and cause the cream to rise. My favorites are the same as yours followed closely by the child in a basket on the scales and the child sitting on the board walk. Although a snap may be technically poor, it still somehow retains its mystery and fascination.
