<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3131301, member: 19463"]I have, in the past, collected many things. One was old photos. The market for portraits of people is not great but let that person be holding something that links him to who he was or what he did makes that photo a treasure. Most common are soldiers but more interesting are firemen and doctors with tools of their trades. I would absolutely love to have a photo of the 1850 version of ominus' great-great grandfather at his cluttered desk filled with piles of ancient coins. The closest I have seen is my stereoview still life with things gathered around the house and a bracelet made of antoniniani. TIF's magic turned a snapshot into art. Perhaps it should be rendered in oil and offered at auction in one of those sales that takes itself too seriously.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
