House and home.

Just to be finicky, lets call a photograph of a house, a house. If there is someone standing in front or somewhere in the photograph, let's call it home.

Now pages of just houses we'll call "We Call It Home" and pages with people we'll call "Our House". Got it?

This ain't from around here anywheres.

NEW ADDITIONS

This photograph has people in it so it doesn't actually belong on this page. But, it turns out to be the same as the house on the left, just taken from the front.

Sepia Saturday - The House

Dorothy clicked the heels of her ruby slippers and repeated, "There's no place like home. There's no place like home." And surely she was right. Be it ever so humble. Or not.

So lets look at a few homes. Palace or pig-sty, castle or crate, shack or chateau, here are some abandoned photographs of home...well, somewhere, sometime, somebody called these home.

Actually we are revisiting a category we collected long ago called "Our House" But this time, we'll look at photographs of just the house. No occupants. We'll try to imagine who might have lived there.

This one is apparently the same house as in the photograph on the left. Different time, different angle.

This one was rescued from an almost completely lost, photographer's "proof" print. This is light-sensitive photo paper that darkens without the need of chemical baths. It is sandwiched with the negative and exposed to light until it darkens. It produces a temporary contact print for viewing by the customer or just to check the coherence of the photograph in positive mode. It's a quick and easy method for the task. Of course the drawback is that the "proof" paper continues to darken every time it is exposed to light. Therefore, the customer still has to buy a proper print for the family album.

This print also shows the effect of being stored in an envelope. The paper leaked light and further exposed the proof paper. The seamed areas leaked less light.

The house is the same as the one on the right.

This is the same house as on the left. Is is a different winter however, as evidenced by changes in the shrubs.

Have you noticed how many of these were taken with the camera tilted? Not only that; most of those are tilted too far to the left. Some of these have been corrected here by tilting the photo to compensate.

It's time to click your heels and go back home to the SEPIA SATURDAY home page and knock on a few more doors!

There are now more than 4,000 photographs in the Lost Gallery.
