Still experimenting with the same process. I really like the effect of this picture, though. I took it at our customer appreciation day, specifically focusing on getting both the interior of the car and the reflections on the window.

Aren't the textures great? I didn't even add them. In the original you can't really see them, but a few tweeks really brought out the textures.

I'm doing some experimenting with vintage looks in prep for our next catalog cover. My hope is to hit on a few different styles that I can use and possibly mix and match to get a look we haven't used before.

This one is HDR styled with some throwback coloring. It's definitely in the running if it works with the photo we decide on.

Before they were Safeway, they were Sanitary.

At least some stores in the D.C./Virginia/Maryland were.

The date lists the photos as taken 1933-34.

In this photo it looks like it has a shiny new floor and more open floor plan. Either that or it's a different area of the store. Someone has put a little 'X' over the head of Bill Mahone.

Also interesting. On the back of this photo is writing in the same hand as the other, though it looks like someone wrote first in pencil and then at some point went back over it, writing in pen atop the penciled words.

Looks like the Sanitary Grocery chain didn't have such a sanitary past. If I'm reading this right, in 1938 the grocery company sued the New Negro Alliance for picketing one of the stores because they refused to hire black workers. The ruling upheld that the protest was legal. supreme.justia.com/us/303/552/, caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/scripts/getcase.pl?court=US&vo...

The boycott was not at this location.

The date lists the photos as taken 1933-34. A brief web search finds that Safeway began acquiring Piggly-Wiggly and Sanitary stores somewhere are 1928. This must have been a late hold-out.

The level of detail here is really great. I like the pricing, too. The nearest bucket seems to say 4lbs. for 15 cents. Can't beat that price!

The set-up and flooring is different than in the other photo. Different areas of the story? Before and after remodeling photos?

This photo is mounted in blue. The writing comes from the back on the mounting.

By the way, the boycott was not at this location.

This tintype was very carefully hand painted after it was taken. The effect is just beautiful. Half painting, half photo.

She looks very young. I wonder if this was taken and painted to honor an occasion such as an upcoming wedding, or if it was just done as a simple portrait to keep.

As you can see around the edges, it was at some point mounted on a page from a book or magazine. The back is here.
