Garage-sale photo finds


Newsweek on this photographic "masterpiece" found at a garage sale (detail above):
The best part of this photograph, [collector John] Foster says, is the contrast between the twins' formality and the kid in the window frame (at right). "Put your finger over the the kid backing out of or climbing into the window, and you have a normal photograph," he says. "But that boy is the big exclamation point on this posed, straightforward image. It's absolutely nutty."
Thanks, Craig P.
