1876 - The Widow's Mite
(Stereograph shows a woman placing coin in box for the poor at church graveyard as ghost of woman watches.)
So, my computer is haunted. I was working on this great photo of this Civil War General that totally looks like Brad Pitt. I was planning on offering it as a print on deviantart.com when it was complete, so I was working with a pretty big image. This thing was damaged, pitted and stained. I saved it a lot, because I know how bad it stinks to totally lose your work. I got about 1/3 of the way through what would have eventually taken me about 5-6 hours, I click save and BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ nothing. Computer totally frozen. I rebooted, opened up the file and nothing… but… black. BLACK! So, instead of a hotsie totsie General tomorrow, you get a ghost tonight! Happy Halloween! I blame Microsoft.
