Tintype of Pink Cheeked Girl

Tintype of Pink Cheeked Girl
Brought forward for the Vintage Photos Theme Park theme of spooky children.
I actually never really saw her that way, but since I have had many comments over the years with people seeing her as creepy, and failing any other likely spooky children images, here she is!
This is a favorite - I love her little face and her high button boots, her hat and her rather stringy hair.
I bought this years ago in Connecticut. She always reminded me of Shelly Duval. : )

Very nice! I had a similar experience with a photo of twin girls, Deborah. A spooky interpretation didn't occur to me until someone pointed out the girls looked like they could have been in The Shining.

As far as Flickr goes, I confess that I still post over there, though anything new goes here on Ipernity first. It's slightly less annoying than it was last year, and I've avoided the ads since my paid account has automatically renewed. Search engines don't seem to find my Ipernity photos as readily as they do on Flickr (a third cousin found me on Flickr that way just yesterday and provided a photo of my parents from 1958), but Ipernity is still more fun.

Sadly, I've noticed that 3 or 4 friends and acquaintances have packed their bags, closed their Ipernity accounts, and gone back to Flickr in just the last week or so. That's how I suddenly ended up as the admin for Cover of a Magazine. Anyone interested in taking it over?

I'm also not quite as gung-ho (or obsessed) about posting as I once was - and I seem to be, sadly, much, much busier in the rest of my life than I was - but I still really do treasure the collectors I know here on Ipernity - and fervently hope we can all keep connecting. I don't have anyone in my life who "gets" vintage pictures the way you folks do!
Alan, I am not at all interested in posting on Flickr, but I've kept mine open for the very reason you bring up - the greater web presence. Not in any way in terms of views, but in terms of family connections. Probably my unusual last name helps. Even beyond meeting my half sister, giving my mom photos of her mother (who died when she was two), finding a guy in Denmark who had done my Dad's family tree back to the 1600s (my Dad didn't even know his grandmother's name), I just keep on getting these cool family connections. My strategy is to go over there every few weeks and check my Flickr mail - that's it for me. : )
On another note - I know what twin photo you refer to and can't quite believe you never saw them as spooky! : )

I think the different reactions to this photo are interesting. Maybe it's because she reminds me of one of my grandsons, but she does not seem at all spooky, just a sweet little kid trying to do as instructed.
