Sorry about the last post, I was trying to see what is involved in posting a photo
and accidently sent a test. Great to be here. Hope to be involved in the future.
I have a range of stuff in my collection. Mostly early New England and some Mid-Western.

Hey HH,

Welcome to the Blue Pages. We'd love to see some photos and learn more about your collection.

There's a bit of a learning curve on the photo thing for some of our new members. You'll find some hopefully helpful hints on posting stuff right here: https://www.antique-bottles.net/forum/Help---Using-the-Forum/forumid-28/tt.htm

Surf is close to infringement of ABN bylaws with the posting of this snapshot.. but what the hell, it's 2012.

So midgets wearing diapers drinking beer with buckets on their heads are illegal now? What has this place come to?! Do we have any rights at all anymore? [:-]

Is that a bucket?? I thought it was a party hat.. [8D]

Hey Connor,

That's an iconic photo to people a bit older than I. It was taken by Arthur "Weegee" Felig

"Austrian photographer and photojournalist, Arthur Fellig, came to notoriety in the 1930′s and 40′s as a press photographer while working in the lower East Side of New York City. His most notable photo’s came from his work on crime scenes,

Fellig worked incredibly quickly and efficiently, earning him the nickname “Weegee†– a phonetic rendering of “Ouija†– because of his prescient arrivals at scenes only minutes after crimes. He practically lived out of his Chevy, where he had converted the back seat into a homemade darkroom. A self-taught photographer, Fellig was economical with his equipment, most of which was “very basic press photographer equipment and methods of the era, a 4×5 Speed Graphic camera preset at f/16, @ 1/200 of a second with flashbulbs and a set focus distance of ten feet.†This provided an instantaneous result to his photography that gave the impression of a “hot off the press†sensation." From.

From.

Here is a photo attempt. I spent 40 minutes resizing it on a friday night
While I should be having a drink or two.
