Gypsy Googling
russian_7-stg_woman-miner-s, originally uploaded by Coilhouse.
A delightful page dedicated to Unidentified European Instruments found during a search for old gypsy photos. Click on, dear readers, for wonderful vintage pictures of musicians wielding strange guitars.
Also stumbled upon during the quest:
- a recount of someone’s return to Bucharest and a few curious photos they took on this journey
- Gaultier’s Russia-inspired winter 2005-2006 collection [improbable beaded hats – yes!]
- typical nu-gypsy dance extravaganza photos. I’ve actually been to a performance like this as a kid in Moscow.
Not a single actual vintage Russian gypsy photo was to be found, however. I’ll resume this later, in the meantime there is a launch celebration to attempt.
