A black and white photograph depicts a person harvesting crops in an open field. The individual, likely male based on the attire, is wearing a wide-brimmed hat for sun protection and dark trousers while bending over to gather or cut stalks of wheat from tall grasses with what appears to be shears. In their right hand they hold another tool used for cutting down crops. To their side lies a bag possibly containing harvested crop material. The field is expansive, showing little else besides the agricultural activity taking place in it and some sparse bushes visible at one edge of the frame. Handwritten annotations on the photo indicate its location as "handi-Crops" near Virginia City, VA., date 1935 with a note that this was photographed by Lange, which is likely Dorothea Lange based on context clues from internet searches and additional information provided in text within the image indicating it's part of an administrative photography series. The photo appears to be one out of many documenting rural life during difficult economic times when photographs such as these were often used for documentation purposes or by government agencies concerned with social conditions, possibly related to New Deal era programs aimed at supporting agriculture and farm laborers.

A Santa Claus figure with a very bushy, long white beard and big fluffy fur hat is riding on a white polar bear. Santa's outfit is white with fur trim, bells and buttons. The polar bear has a string of bells around its neck. Santa is holding a staff with a Christmas tree at the end that is triangular in shape, frosted with snow and decorated with poinsettias and more bells. In the background are various trinkets for sale at the thrift store. Spotted in Virginia City, Nevada many, many years ago.

The inside of this saloon is packed with oddities (as well as alcohol). There are bras hanging from the light fixtures, memorabilia from the mining days and current days. A painting of the American flag on the ceiling is peeling. A man and a woman are sitting at the bar having a drink. There are dollars pinned on the wall. Virginia City, once a booming silver mining town in Nevada, part of the Wild West.

A circus toy on a shelf with books. The glass in the cabinet below reflects additional figurines in silhouette as well as the building across the street.

A photo a day, a project to keep me from losing my mind to all the world’s madness. A window display in #VirginiaCity reflecting a nostalgia for a past that we can look back on with regret. Much like the times now. But alas, history repeats.
