July Pickups

[GKreindler]

That Johnson photo is KILLER, Mark. I wouldn't have even minded that it was a shot of him with Cleveland. And I know the post was more for the companion piece, but it still had to be said.

I picked up two things last month, but for some reason, hadn't posted them. The first is a negative depicting Aparicio, Fox, Lollar and Jim Landis from the '60 White Sox. I thought that it was a great shot of some great players from a great team, and really, that composition is just begging to be painted.



The next is a negative of Babe Ruth crossing home plate in Detroit after hitting his 701st homer. As you can tell, it's pretty badly damaged, especially since the Babe's face is completely obliterated. But again, the shot was just beautiful, especially with that glorious afternoon light, so I couldn't say 'no'. I can easily photoshop in his head from another source and make it work in a painting. It's definitely perfect for my purposes, especially for what I paid for it!!!
