I love the architecture from this era, it's so beautiful. The simple, linear details really provide a lot of opportunity for the photographer! I was quickly drawn to the elevator banks ... they just don’t make elevators like this anymore. Standing in front of them I couldn’t help but think of all the people ... the famous, the rich, the regal ... who may have passed through these them.
We the ventured to the Promenade, which is the place where everything is happening ... well, it would be when the shops open! At this point it was quite late at night and there were just a few people wandering the ship. The promenade extends the length of the ship and is filled with stores, cafes and historic reminders of how the ship looked back then. Everywhere you look, you are reminded of a 'different time.'
One such case held photos and
mementos from over Queen Mary’s years ... and ignited a memory from my own childhood. When I was young, my Grandparents took me to Europe. At one point we traveled on a Ferry from England to France, and it was here my Grandmother bought me a little blue velvet Sailor doll. Exactly like the one behind the case! I loved my Grandmother and I loved that little Sailor doll. It was so weird to see a childhood ‘friend’ like that. The next day we found more in one of the shops on the promenade. After relaying my story, the shopkeeper told us “Yes, we do sell those dolls.” And as he picked one up he stated, “This one is on consignment and it sells for $465.”Needless to say, I now have a great photograph of my little Sailor Doll!
