Remembering Olan Mills Studio...
You may have already seen this. This email has been going around. I laughed SO HARD when I first pulled it up. I won't put them all in there, but here's a few. I remember good old Olan Mills.....I even have a few photos of my own from there....bet you do to! Hope this makes you laugh:
Those glasses came free with a purchase of Brut cologne.
Thoughtful Lance. Mirthful Lance. Two sides of a delightful coin.
That dude wore a tie for nothing.
The Purvis family made several stops along the Oregon Trail to document their six-month journey. This photo was taken just two weeks before the dysentery took Momma to Jesus.
Bobbi isn't the first waitress to fall for her manager, but she and Dale both got fired from Shoney's.
Olan Mills is all about versatility. The simple addition of a column turns this generic plantation into Tara, where, apparently, someone opened a Hair Cuttery.
Nothing says 1973 quite like denim and helmet hair. These kids have parents with matching hair too.
No Comment.
Just a typical afternoon down on the plantation. In a business suit.
Olan Mills backdrop #4: Bucolic Meadow with Split Rail Fence. Is that an animal carcass behind her?
It's called a leisure suit, ladies and gens, and if you didn't have one in the early 70s, you were a big fat loser. Mine was teal. I wore it with a silk floral shirt and a long necklace with a football player pendant that we all got at that year's team banquet. I was THE MAN.
I got $20 that says he drives a Camaro.
Oh, this is super. What better way to capture the charm and innocence of a child than to plunk him down amid the coarse trappings of a life lived in pursuit of wealth — oversized bills, an adding machine and the Wall Street Journal — and make him sit inside a briefcase? The finishing touch is the globe, which completes the portrait of the young child in chess king vest and red goose loafers, plotting his takeover of the world (insert maniacal laugh). That is, as soon as someone changes his poopy diaper.
