GailAnthonyHarmer 6 Posted March 9, 2011 A new television show 'American Picker's' has quickly become one of our favorites of late. Two brothers travel America searching for 'old American Antiques' of all kinds. Quite often they visit the homes of 'hoarders' and it's just amazing just what 'JUNK' some people will not part with. But then again, as they say, 'One man's JUNK is another man's TREASURE'. (thanks for viewing, Gail) Link to comment

GailAnthonyHarmer 6 Posted March 9, 2011 I don't know if you can get the show where you live, but they find some of the most unusal and sought after antiques. I'm sure if you search it on the internet you'd find their site. Thankyou for that very kind critique Radu. I appreciate you and your thoughts on my images. Kind regards, Gail Link to comment
tonyfrench 0 Posted March 9, 2011 Gail, I really like the collection of objects and the wooden bench they are sitting on. The golden tones of the background work nicely with the colors of the objects. The painterly texture and spatter effect is great. Link to comment

sagnikroy 0 Posted March 10, 2011 Its a lovely image with amazing processing. All of us have grown up seeing such mundane items in our everyday life, yet your image arouses a feeling of deja vu. Even as a non-American I can relate to your story. Thanks for sharing. Regards. Link to comment
Pierre Dumas 315 Posted March 10, 2011 The old objects mean a lot to me, they are connected to my experience, feelings, romance(s) if you like, beautiful moments of my life, especially childhood, the best period of everybody's life...yes, they are very, very important!Cheers Gail!PDE Link to comment
