Description
Fewer and fewer Americans possess objects that have a patina, old furniture, grandparents pots and pans / the used things, warm with generations of human touch, essential to a human landscape. Instead, we have our paper phantoms, transistorized landscapes. A featherweight portable museum. --Susan Sontag

How deeply felt is this photo you've taken, Gwyn. And you're so right about the old wood furniture that has so much rich human energy in its patina. Love this and makes me want to touch it, too, but it's the screen that don't let me to. Thank you for sharing. F,v. ______ Ana

these are my favorite types of collectable, i love the old chipped frames and knicked and banged furniture. This is a great image Gwyn.
Gwyn Newcombe replied:
Oh me too Sharon. I can't get it out of my mind ... when I put my hand on it I felt the past. Thanks for commenting.

Thanks Bob. This is two of the headboards with footboard tied together. I couldn't keep my hands off it!
