What is value?
I sent an email the other day that included the top photo and this explanation:
I bought an ugly pic at the thrift shop because I wanted the frame. When I took it apart this is what was on the back of it.
Having just downloaded a new batch of "frames and textures" I really sent the picture out to share my excitement at achieving "the look" I was going for. The responses were quite unexpected.
Oh my goodness...I love that pic.
What a treasure...that is very awesome.
I LOVE that, I hope you're keeping it...it's awesome... weird what some people will cover up.
That's interesting...I wonder if there is any money behind it.
That's very nice.
Then I started thinking; what is value?
The actual photo, sans textures and beefed-up-frame, is plain and uninteresting. I doubt all the added features gave the photo it's new value. Was it the mystery?
-Why was the photo hidden behind the canvas?
-What caused those letters to imprint on the photo?
-Who put it there?
-How old is it?
What is value? I'll continue to seriously ponder this question.
Thank you to my friends for playing . And no, there was no money behind it. :)

ReplyDeletei would like to guess who said which comment (in the order you have them listed): Sarah, Lauren, me, Sylvia and lastly, Karen.
ReplyDeleteWhat is my prize?? is it that pic?? :0)
Nope, it's Karen, Lauren, Amanda, Sylvia and Jim.
ReplyDeleteI had guessed Amanda on the third comment and I can absolutely hear Jim saying "that's very nice."
