Two Of Us : Encounters

[the images are selected from the Joseph Selle archive at the Visual Studies Workshop in Rochester, New York. Selle owned 'Fox Movie Flash', a San Francisco street vendor photographic firm that existed from the 1930s until the 1970s. The archive at the Visual Studies Workshop contains some one million negatives. They exist as 35 mm half frames on 100-foot rolls of film (that were loaded in modified DeVry movie cameras). So far twelve of these rolls have been scanned, with a resulting 17.935 files. These files have been my woking material]
[the text-dials quote Baudelaire's Les Sept Vieillards, in a translation from The poems and prose poems of Charles Baudelaire, James Huneker, Brentano's, New York, 1919.]
