Take 5: The challenge was to make one photograph to document a lifetime of collecting various things. Since last time, I added a couple objects to represent other hobbies and to even it out at two per major hobby area. The Ambrotype of mother and daughter represents collecting old images (as did the stereoview) and my interest in baby photography. The tektite on the bar of the stereoscope adds nothing but joins the meteorite as a second item from its genre. The second postal item is a stamp showing an aquarium fish (which I collected long ago). Still present are the 1865 stereoview on the much newer viewer, an 1838 Hard Times token, 1856 ship letter to France, 5th century BC Greek coin, 1947 Sikote Alin meterorite, Luristan horse croatal and a Chinese bell from the early 20th century.


The earlier effort was moved to the miscellaneous section if anyone wants to compare. Since this is the last day for this POTW cycle, I promise this is the end of this series.
