{"product_id":"making-pictures-maxine-payne-9780981734255","title":"Making Pictures: Three for a Dime","description":"In the 1930s the Massengill family of rural Arkansas built three portable photography studios on old truck frames, attached each to the back of any car that would run, and started a mobile photo booth business that would last for a decade. Without formal training they invented ways to mimic the popular photo booth and brought their business to the dirt roads and open fields. \u003ci\u003eMaking Pictures\u003c\/i\u003e, featuring Massengill family prints and photo albums collected by the artist Maxine Payne, illuminates a Depression-era South previously unseen by the public. Unlike the hardscrabble lives captured by WPA photographers, the Massengill photographs often show folks working to look their best. Hand-painted backdrops, colorized prints and the occasional prop add a playful edge to these scenes. Not unlike photographs by Vivian Maier or Mike Disfarmer, the Massengill photographs invite us to reconsider a time and place from a new perspective.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Maxine Payne\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0981734251\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780981734255\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dust to Digital\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/24\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 180\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.41lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 6.40w x 0.80d","brand":"Maxine Payne","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43947542315263,"sku":"9780981734255","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_06a6e0aa-34a6-4b01-b5e2-ccf0a8effcda.jpg?v=1681519322","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/making-pictures-maxine-payne-9780981734255","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
