The Ebay Economy or The Arc of a Photograph




This was a suprise to find on Ebay. A collector of Hispanic ephemera is selling one of my photographs from 1995. Bad news / good news it is 50% off! Here is how the seller, username "Nachomamma" defines the photograph:

TOUCHING, ROMANTIC, MOVING. THESE ARE WORDS TO DESCRIBE THE EMOTIONS IN THIS PHOTOGRAPH. A YOUNG MAN AND WOMAN, OR BOY AND GIRL, OBVIOUSLY FARM LABORERS. IN AN ORANGE GROVE, CALIFORNIA? THAT IS WHERE I BELIEVE WORLD FAMOUS PHOTOGRAPHER, TIMOTHY ARCHIBALD TOOK THIS PHOTO, IN 1995. COULD JUST HAVE BEEN AS EASILY TAKEN IN 1945. MAKES ME WONDER WHEN THINGS MIGHT GET EASIER.

THANK YOU FOR VIEWING MY LISTING.

Get it, see it, buy it for $100 HERE.

UPDATE as of 1/21/2013: The photograph was purchased by L.A. based photographer Kurt Jordan for his personal collection. It ended with an auction price of $200.
