What's Richard Doing Right Now?

Mon, 13 Mar 2006

I got a nice email this weekend from a producer of a show about collectors. Seems she's interested in using this photo on an upcoming episode about quilts. We're in negotiations (ha ha) on using the photo.

She mentions putting the blog URL in the credits.

Nifty. Where do I sign?

In the Kitchen

This is a great old photo and if you know who the people are, please drop me a line. I found this print in a scrapbook kept by my great-grandfather, Paul Cottrell. The pictures near it in the book are from the mid-late 1950's.

Unfortunately, it has no markings or names, but appears to be some sort of proof print, since the original has an erratic black border, as if hurriedly printed and cut. It's likely taken somewhere in Oklahoma or Kansas, perhaps Great Bend, but that's a real guess.

Check out the high-heels on the woman and also the groovy pattern on the linoleum. (Click the photo for an 800X600 version).
