The Madonna and Child, Chicago
FOUND by Rachael McHan
in Chicago, IL
I was walking home with my boyfriend, Pharth and we are both Polaroids takers so he recognized the shape of it right away. It was half hidden among the leaves and trash at a construction site. We were so surprised to find such a wonderful Polaroid in such good condition!

That Madonna has some pretty manly arms and hands. Not to mention hairy.
I wonder what's on the floor that the kid is so interested in.
arole-Ann and I used to take a lot of Polaroids, but she didn't trust me to keep them when we broke up, so she took them with her. All, that is, except the one where she got her leg up on the s
The Rock looks so cute as a Pebble!
(sing with me now) "... so put on a happy face!"
Not only makes you feel better, but it keeps the INS agents at bay.
(I wonder if Rachael and Pharth are still together?)
@ baby basil: i think the kid is just trying to get away from the multi-headed smiley monster!
ah!
boyfriends name...Pharth? o
Parthy on Phayne! Parthy on Pharth....
Pharth of me wants to like thpis... pharth of me does not...
Hi I'm Pharth this is my sister Acropo...
just.. where ARE they? Is that a vending machine behind them? Is that an upper floor above them? are those flags? Are they at an airport?
And what the heck is that thing in the bottom left corner!?
The background of this shot makes NO sense to me.
Da letr workd. Me n Lucy did make relashipe, n da relashipe made d baybe. Wez stil tryn to kep it privat. Smilz 2 ya!
HPD: Beans make me pharth.
Look at the ceiling...I have seen a lot of those things and never knew if they were AC ducts or the speakers for the muzak...there is decorative "flags" bunting strung across just in front of the shot, at the top. I'd definitely say some kind of pizza restaurant (given the large shiny whatever-it-is with the big brass wheel behind basil's "Hairy Madonna") or other public place--community centre, maybe?
Pharth Vader: Rachel... I'm am your boyphriend.
@Bored -- it's just someone's house. Those aren't flags -- it's a HAPPY BIRTHDAY banner. You can see the APPY to the left before the letter lift out of the frame. To the bottom left is the top of a brass dining room chair, causing a weird light reflection. Behind the man's leg is one of those horrible plastic broadleaf pants. Behind him to the left is just the sliding glass door to the backyard. The chair, the plant, the door, the ceiling -- everything about this screams the early 80's in someone's oh-so-tastefully decorated living/dining room.
".....and we are both Polaroids takers so he recognized..."
polaroids takers. do they use the camera often, or just takes others peoples pictures.
I hads polaroids once, right on my pharth, and man did it hurts. i hads to gets a parthectomy.
i likes a littles extras s in my writings. i likes that shes had to puts his name in the finds. i likes finds.
LOL @ HPD and kudos to kermit. have a nice day.
A man of many faces...
Wow. Kermit, thanks for getting my brain to see THAT perspective. For some reason that corner above the baby's head looked like a FLOOR going the other way, and I could NOT reconcile that with anything in my known universe. (family of giants?) It's like that '80's video game Q-Bert- you look at those geometrical designs for a bit and suddenly can't tell if it's convex or concave?
So yeah, Bday party, that's a gift bag bottom left, and a cake plate in front of Harry Madonna's face. Whew. The world almost makes sense again.
With time running out, Heath X thought he could get to his nephew Malcolm’s birthday party without arousing too much notice. Unfortunately, a kid from the neighborhood had a Polaroid camera with her, and had to take a picture of everyone and his uncle. Heath made one of those quick-as-a-flash decisions he was famous for on the streets: his presence back in the ‘hood right before the case went to trial could NOT be made known, so he had to do whatever it took to protect his identity.
Hence the plate of birthday cake in his face.
Heath would so relieved when the proceedings were over and he could assume his new Witness Protection Program identity as an English professor with a specialty in e.e. cummings.
Jenny Madonna loved the smiley-face plate so much that she held it up in front of her face. Her baby failed to notice it. He was too busy watching his drunken dad dance on the table, splattering cake all over the spectators.
Why do people have to hide their faces? It's better to have pictures of them during a bad hair day or whatever than having 100s of pictures of them trying to hide from the camera. That's pretty much how it is with my mom.
Pharth. I just can get over that name. Pharth Pharth Pharth... I can't stop saying it.
Pharth!
Hairy Madonna,
Baby in your arms
Wonder how you manage to
Hide your charms.
Hairy Madonna,
Baby's lookin sick
Can you blame him? You must be
One ugly chick!
What kind of name is Pharth? It sounds so made up and cool. And I see that someone has beaten me to the (fairly obvious) Pharth Vader jokes. This displeases me.
That's one good thing that a smile can define even more smiles despite of life's challenges. Thanks to the pretty child who would always share warmth.
