Got $15,000 to spare?

Action for photographs from late 1800's and early 1900's up for sale:

Neat bit of history there.

Nice


but the last time I had money to spare I put it all into the stock
market, then watched the value drop considerably.

Due to having a cast iron stomach I just held on and within a few years
the money doubled.


I then spent a few hundred dollars to buy a photo by Judith Pannozo

I just love the photo...and being a photographer myself it has to be
good for me to buy one from someone else.


OT:
As to the stock market...the only time I've lost money was when I
panicked and sold when the stock was falling. Experienced investors know
that that's the time to buy. This assumes of course it's a good solid
company. I would not invest in Radio Shack ...for example.

Now more experienced I no longer sell off in a panic and have found that
the stocks can sometimes recover within six months...though it can take
a lot longer...18-24 months...so patience is needed.

Also: I only invest what I could afford to lose. If I invested a lot
more I could have been wealthy now...but I also could have been dead broke.

If there is something unusual about the tires , I missed it.

One comment however was that the couple is "obviously wealthy".

When I asked my friend why he said that, he told me "Because they are
wearing expensive Italian clothing."


I then roared with laughter because since the photo was taken in Italy,
it's not surprising that the people wore Italian clothing.



BTW: When I looked at the prices on the website I realized that I did
not spend "a few hundred" dollars. Though the size I purchased lists for
maybe $160, I know Judith personally and she gave me a deal as I did her
a favor.

On her first website, she had posted her images with no watermark and at
full resolution. I informed her that was not a good idea. She had not
realized they were full res.

Squashed, especially the rear.

I'm an ex-cyclist.

With a young girl in stiletto heels standing on the luggage rack of a
bicycle for some odd reason I did not notice the tires were low.

Maybe I'm not quite over the hill yet.

The front looks a little low, but the back appears to be just down in
a groove between the cobblestones. It may be low, though.

That looks like an uneven surface, and might be difficult to ride on.

What I noticed are the weird shoes the man has on. Are those some kind
of special bike shoes or just something popular in Italy but not here?

At $22 for a regular print, Ms Pannozo is not a couple of hundred
dollar buy. Her most expensive print is $27 at
http://fineartamerica.com/art/all/pannozo/all. She does charge more
for extra features like canvas, metallic, etc.






Wrong, her prints go up to a $400 dollars you need to go back and look
....the prices shown are for the smallest images...if you click you can
see the price for larger ones.

I did get a special deal though as mentioned in my other response.

As to the shoes they are Italian street shoes AFAIK
