Thursday Photo Caption Contest
Yosef Croce used visual aids when he played his mournful rendition of “Time In a Bottle.”
What can you say about a man, his accordion, a clock, and a bottle? We went to guest judge and social media coordinator Jeannie Chen, who once featured a infant President Ford holding a tiny accordion on the Presidential Libraries tumblr blog.
Congratulations to Mickey! Your caption won Jeannie’s heart and got that Croce tune stuck in her head. Check your email for a code for 15% off in our eStore.
The man in the photograph has been featured before on Pieces of History in this Facial Hair Friday post. William Duncan was the founder of Metlakahtla, a Utopian community in Alaska. The original caption reads: “William Duncan late in life, exhibiting to friends for photographing the canvas, hammock, clock, water bottle, and accordian [sic] used by him on his voyage to Victoria, B.C., in 1856-57., 1916 – 1917″ (ARC 297897)

Once properly posed & meticulously aligned, the subject proceeded, as directed, to think as loudly as possible: “There’s no place like home; there’s no place like home; there’s no place like home; ….”

During WWI, Capt. Miller’s Atomic B.O. was an effective, but controversial, enhanced interrogation method.
