Backyard garden excavations, 2008-2009.  Those are spring onions growing out of G.I. Joe, and the hotwheels car fittingly (but inexplicably) reads “Subterranean Recovery Crew.”  Ink on mylar.

Nathan Reist was an amateur photographer and school teacher in Lititz, PA around the turn of the twentieth century.  His archives now reside in a shoebox on the bottom shelf of the bookcase in the shop area of the Lancaster County Historical Society.  They are on sale for a dollar a print.  A closer look reveals that he was a creepy amateur photographer and school teacher.COS1
