MY EARS!
FOUND by Robert Keim
in Upstate NY
I've been doing major housekeeping in my classroom, and I found some more pictures! On the back it says "Mother was a Freshman, 1950."

We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone
else's life. Anything goes...
Ohhh Robert, how do I love thee? let me count the ways.
I love photo Finds, and Robert's a rockstar.
that man either needs longer pants or longer socks
I can almost hear the dialogue of this scene: Mom trying to be very "cool" and "frosh", with her pedal pushers and penny loafers, and Sonny saying, "LALALALALA! I can't hear you!"
My mom quit school in 8th grade to get married. In those days, you had to. Married women did not go to school, pregnant or not. She never got a diploma, but it never stopped her from being gainfully employed.
I don't know how I would have felt if she had wanted to go back to school with me when I, her youngest, was a freshman. I think I would have thought it was OK. Perhaps because she taught me that education was a privilege as well as a basic human right.
espite the failure of bike music, went on to develop Disco. Unfortunately, she died before she turned 50 from a severe case of disco feve
Quit pounding that frame and get a drum kit, mama!!
All the world's a stage, and some of us are destined to be bit players forever.
Like these two.
One of whom continually recites the line: "Please do not use me!!!! I don't work properly."
An historic photo, showing the moment John Cage got the idea for 4'33".
I am laughing too hard to think of anything witty to type.
A good start to the day!
Mother was a Freshman, 1950, and Father couldn't stand her yammering on about this that and the other thing - over and over and over gain - even back then.
Still what he loved about her was how she enjoyed riding her bicyle without any seat
(an old trick she learned from her Aunt who was a Nun).
Looks like the days before elastic was used in socks, back when a good greasy hair style was fashionable, and when you could still enroll in high school at age 43.
Obviously 'Daisy Bell' and the famous bicycle being converted. Looks like the guy finally understood that Daisy listened to his song!
"Open the pod bay doors, HAL."
I'm thinking he doesn't want to hear where she's planning on putting that thing.

rubber hose up your nose,
I know! She does look like she's about 43. Even if she were a college freshman, she doesn't look like she fits.
Isn't "Mother was a Freshman" an old movie?
She's telling him (tapping it out in Morse Code, too, by the way!):
I still love you
[i always will]
I'm sorry for hurting you
i will always hate myself
i miss you
And he trying to not listen. Guys are like that sometimes. Especially the sharp dressers like this one.
I saw this as "Found my ears!"
Ditto to Chrome, I second that emotion. I love you, Robert! I wish Davy would make a book of your Found photos. (Why don't you??)
She is playing music on the bicycle wheel! It makes me think of the movie, "The Triplets of Belleville"? Fantastic movie!!
Robert Keim finds fantastic photos!
looks like a HS play
