Eagle-Eyed

Mike left a comment on my last post asking me about a photo of the Lustron house I saw. When I went back and looked, I realized that for some reason Blogger had used an earlier version of my post rather than my final draft.

What should have been included:

The house was across a busy road. I had already walked a substantial distance, and without going out of my way to the nearest stoplight there was no way to cross the street to get a close photo. I tried to take one from where I was, but there were no breaks in the traffic. In the end I used a photo from one of the local television stations, but the attribution wasn't on the post that got published.

I never want to be the person who uses something without giving credit, so the original post is updated accordingly.  Thanks, Mike!

  3. We almost got to rent a Lustron house many years ago, but just before we spoke with the owner, he got an offer from someone to buy it! It was very interesting.

  4. An attribution means you have to remember where you found it. In internetville that's really hard to do.

    1. When I started typing search phrase (Lustron house south St. Louis) into Google, my previous one popped up as an option. The source was the first hit.

  5. It's easy to see how things slip through with blogging platforms sometimes. Great that Mike spotted it, and even better that you handled it with integrity. That’s what builds trust with readers!

    Happy weekend my friend

  7. Yes, I am so delighted when someone GIVES me an attribution for something I have written or photographed, that I always try to do it for anything I can.
