disintegrating by summerfield

disintegrating

two almost hundred-year-old issues of the national geographic. the pages are starting to disintegrate to the touch, especially the 1924 one. these are rather interesting read. the 1924 issue boasts of 16 pages of illustrations of pllants in colour relating to a lengthy plant life article. there is also a small advertisement for "prophylactic" 😊 which naturally caught my attention. however it was a kind of toothbrush to prevent gum disease, not the prophylactic that i was thinking of. i had to be very careful when leafing through the magazines.

my coat closet hides a multitude of sins, i tell you.

for week three's "delicate" theme for the 52 captures challenge. (wonder when i shall start to self-implode with these weekly challenges?)
A beautiful still life.

I love the watch. I remember the joy of looking through the National Geographic magazine when I was in junior school. I imagine stepping into Narnia when stepping into you coat closet.

Love looking at older journals and books. I have some that date back over a hundred years too. Nice shot

What a treasure to have the magazines as a window on the past. You have composed them beautifully in this photo and I like the shallow DO F, and the POV

We've got some of those old ones, too. What the heck we're doing with them, I have no idea.

Nicely done Vikki. I see you found some of your time pieces (which by the way, are quite lovely) :)

What a beautiful still life of those old magazines and watches. I don't know where you hide all this stuff in an apartment!

Very nice still life. Like the dark background.
