Challenge 860: The 1940s kitchen
I photographed this rather fine selection of wartime cooking apparatus in a local museum last weekend.

Of course, the window is all wrong, and the scene is lacking in atmosphere. Can you bring it to life?

High res is here.

Instant 1940s first thought... 'What's in your kitchen?'

Seems we are vaguely on a similar track Loyd.



The question now is dare I tell Ingrid that apparently she still has a quite a bit to learn!

Thanks Frank...!

Long being an admirer of the work by 1940s pinup artists, it only seems logical that this would pop into my mind.

I have to confess to being quite at a loss for anything 'proper' to do with this one. So this rather feeble effort will have to do. Although I suppose it's a kind of how to cheat .........

It's my childhood. Along with flowered 'pinnies' and ration coupons.
