I'll look at that cover as you suggested.<br /><br />annell~ Thank you. And I enjoyed your visit!<br /><br />Nes~ Makes me really happy that you like OPW and enjoyed this post. :) With some new readers appreciating it now I might see about the possibilities of doing a "file cabinet" so, if desired, all the past OPWs are available for viewing.Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11135393270656573516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039445774186145767.post-89783945034260633162010-09-09T08:54:14.797-07:002010-09-09T08:54:14.797-07:00OPW sounds like a great concept.

Check out the cover of U2's The Joshua Tree - plenty of black and white, haunting and slightly grainy photos.<br /><br />The shots he took of Ian Curtis and Joy Division are also deceptively simpleDon't Feed The Pixieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05380146661526476947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039445774186145767.post-81412323086660210752010-09-09T00:19:49.557-07:002010-09-09T00:19:49.557-07:00Loved the post card and also the story you brought...Loved the post card and also the story you brought forward.

When I read that in the afternoon I sat here and watched the first half again, and will finish it sometime this week. I'm enjoying it all over again. <br />I wish you guys could tour this country because you would see and enjoy it to the fullest. Maybe someday!<br /><br />Fireblossom~ Loved knowing that you know the book, too. It kills me that I did not keep up with my book log. It's wonderful that you have maintained yours for this many years. Wonderful to have you join me on OPW. :)<br /><br />Pixies~ Your knowledge base is deep and wide...now I must find out about the photographer you mentioned. Rock photographer sounds like it might have been his style to do this shot. Does the time frame fit, though? Not sure how old this old postcard is but probably the 40s-50s...<br />Yup, skive means what I thought it meant. :)<br /><br />Phivos~ The same could be said for every travel post at your blog! :)<br /><br />La Belette Rouge~ It's true, what you said. There is a knowing by nature that seems to speak through the image. I've held off running this postcard because ...well, once they're gone they're gone. No more anticipation wondering when I would post it!Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11135393270656573516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039445774186145767.post-70573132145747618682010-09-08T21:47:52.715-07:002010-09-08T21:47:52.715-07:00There is something so haunting and ominous about t...There is something so haunting and ominous about that postcard.

I've read that book, "Ordeal By Hunger", and was appalled and speechless when I found out that the writer of their guide book had never actually been there himself. I keep a book log, and I looked and saw that I had read it almost 20 years ago, in October of 1992, and that surprised me. It is still so immediate and vivid in my mind.<br /><br />You're such a doll to provide the links and all the kind words about my companion post. Thank you! OPW is simply a fabulous idea. Now I am off to check out the first one!Fireblossomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07040525704916368792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039445774186145767.post-55190998876895661472010-09-08T02:42:52.752-07:002010-09-08T02:42:52.752-07:00Love this postcard! and the whole post.

I'm fascinated by the story of america, it is both terrible and beautiful and there must be so many stories of human endeavor and spirit that never reach the light of day. I'm about to go and check out that film and see if I can get it to work on our dodgy mountain broadband :-)Batteson.Indhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10846214578565824955noreply@blogger.com
