Three Farmers: A catalog of found objects http://www.threefarmers.com Three Farmers aim is to exhibit found objects of beauty, camp, nostalgia or cultural merit. Once lost or forgotten items - vernacular photography, pulp paperbacks, vinyl LPs, and other ephemera - will again be found and appreciated. And just like the photo "Three Farmers on Their Way to a Dance," each object has a story to tell.

My priorities lie elsewhere at the moment and I don’t want to stretch myself too thin. Perhaps in the far future ThreeFarmers will live again, but I do not perceive this changing any time soon.

If anyone would like to purchase the name and digital content of this website, please let me know. Otherwise I will sit on it indefinately.

The weird framing and the plain white background make this picture look like it was taken in a photo-booth. The boy also looks like a boyscout. I could be wrong.

The back of the cardboard frame does say it was “Taken by the PhotoMatic”. I’m guessing it was a type of photo-booth from the 40’s or 50’s. I didn’t know they had those back then!

If anyone has any more info about this please let me know.

Pixote may be my favorite film, and this poster may be my favorite poster.

He has robbed,
pimped, & pushed drugs…
He has killed three men…
He is eight years old!

That is not accurate at all. The movie is actually quite touching. But after reading that slogan I had to buy this. I love how sleazy and pulpy it is. I have it hanging up in my living room.
