My mother has given me tons of photos from the early 1900's and nobody smiles. In fact, they look downright angry. But this reminds me of something my niece said when she was 4 or 5. She had seen black and white photos of my grandfather back in the 50's. One day she told me that grandpa was so old that he was alive back when everything used to be grey! I ask her what she meant and she said that everyone used to wear grey clothes, drive grey cars, live in grey houses, etc. Then it occurred to me "why wouldn't she think that"? That's what she sees in pictures.cyndi cesarehttp://www.ceeceeart.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7526011052298598356.post-59515810389041209942013-07-08T15:27:06.222-04:002013-07-08T15:27:06.222-04:00I'm intrigued that you use Spellbinders.

It mentions the rare smile, and notes that subjects had to wear a neck brace (which "contributed to the formality and lack of smiling") to sit still long enough for the exposure. The rarity of being in front of a lens also influenced the decision to be formal.<br /><br />PhotoBooth is a tintype studio that makes portraits in the old style. I think I mentioned once on my blog.<br /><br />Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13290283101378474845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7526011052298598356.post-22516784793941141272013-07-05T10:23:36.205-04:002013-07-05T10:23:36.205-04:00Seth, I laughed out loud at the "conversation...Seth, I laughed out loud at the "conversation" you envisioned between brother and sister.

In India, people tend to look solemn in photos. My wedding album is full of photos of people looking unsmilingly at the camera and that include both the bride and the groom. And, we were thinking very happy thoughts, I assure you!<br /><br />Anyway, it is humorous to put our own spin on what is behind the mask and thanks for the tutorial.Indirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15938040151576044105noreply@blogger.com
