Re-Worked Images …
No … I have not been in jail … or the hospital … or have I died …. I have just been busy with other things over the past few weeks and have not been posting any images recently. One thing that I have been working on lately is re-working some of my images and putting a textured overlay on them. I am surprised at how much you can change the look and feel of an image by just adding some texture in Photoshop. The ” old-school ” way was to do it in printing on textured paper, but you were also very limited by the few printing papers that you could select or by running the finished print through a texture-creating machine. I have been doing some reading and found a technique that I that would be interesting and am starting to create some new images from old images. The image above of Pensacola Bay around 1950 is an image that I thought would lend itself well to texturing and I think that it succeeded. Also, a gift to my viewers, this image is an 8×10 full resolution sized file. So if you want to down-load the file ( right click and Save as … ) you can make a print to keep. Just call it an early Christmas gift. Most of all of the other images on this blog are sized for the web for easy loading and viewing … nothing bothers me more than having to wait minutes for images to load because the photographer was not considerate enough to resize the image or images. As usual, all comments are appreciated and welcomed. Please check back, because I forgot to mention that I have been doing some scanning a lot of new negatives. Thanks and please check back … Frank

New Composite From Old Photos …
I made a composite of some of my photos over on my site last week and posted it … have had some positive comments, so I decided to create with my father’s images. Also, where I put less than sixty photos, I decided to put several hundred on his ( the one above ). The main problem was that I did not realize how long that this project would take … I am too embarrassed to say how many hours that I have to this piece. My only saving grace was that I got myself a Spotify account and I have found more new music that I never knew existed to entertain myself will I worked on this compilation. The composite is by no way perfect and it has a lot of flaws that I hope people will overlook because of the shear number of images that I have put on this piece. That is no rhyme or reason how I put all of these together and there is no structure or organization to any of it, except to make it fit without any large gaps between the photos in any direction. The image is sized to 10×8 and I do not know if it will show up as an 10×8 on this WordPress Blog. Like I said on the other one that I created with my images … if you click on the image, it should open the image up by itself in another window. If you click on the Ctrl Key while you click on the (+) key, the image should enlarge in increments of around 25% with each click. Try it and let me know. That is all for now … I hope everyone had a safe and happy holidays … Please feel free to comment and if you have any questions, ask. Also, please feel free share this link with all of your friends. They do not have to be from the area, I just hope that they are interested in photographs from the past. Thanks … Frank
Pensacola Women’s Club Fashions …
I do not know who these ladies are or the year that these were taken, but it would have to be sometime in the 1950’s. This was taken before they started selling rolls of seamless white paper in 108″ length. My father just took a roll of linoleum and painted the back of it white. I have posted posted other photos before he had this backdrop where he just used the rear wall of his camera room. Notice that this linoleum was not very log and the women could not stand far enough away from the wall to have their shadows fall off. They were standing about a foot from the end and were maybe only 3 feet or so from the back wall. His camera room in this studio was not very deep or large, so he could not have brought them out much further anyway. Here is another photo of the two ladies …
I could have dodged out the background shadow, but for what this is, I did not bother with it. Thanks for looking and if you have any comments, please share them with us. Thanks for looking … Frank
And Now, A Word From Our Sponsor …
And that would be me … I had these framed images on display in a restaurant in downtown Pensacola that closed recently. There are around twenty of these framed prints and I am looking to sell them. Most are 16×20 prints, matted to 20×24 with a black metal frame and glass. A few are 20×24 prints, matted to 24×28 and framed in black metal. There are also one or two 11×14’s matted to 16×20 and framed the same way. Here is one more print …
These two just happen to be from parades, but some of the others are the San Carlos Hotel, Aerial view of downtown Pensacola in the 1950’s, etc, etc. You can call me on my cell phone at 850-449-1279 or email me at: frankphardy@gmail.com and I will be happy to tell you what I have printed and obviously all of the images shown on this site can be printed and framed. Below, is an example of a print mounted on canvas … I know I have shown these before. but this is one I received back from the lab on Friday that I thought looked very well done. The first is the image that I sent to the lab …
Next are several of the print back from the lab …
And now one of the side showing how the canvas is wrapped around the stretcher frame …
Please note: The image that I sent to the lab was scaled to the dimensions of a 35mm camera and the print is a 16×20. So, when the image is cropped to print, you loose some of the image off the bottom and off the sides. If I would have made the print 16×24, it would have printed to the dimensions of the top image. There always seems to be some confusion when you are enlarging / sizing prints to fit different formats and some photographers do not take the time to explain it to the people purchasing the enlargements … so, if you do not understand this, please ask.
If anyone has any questions or is interested in purchasing any my work for wall decor, publishing. etc … please do not hesitate to get in touch. Thanks again for looking …
