I went up to the Webb Road Flea Market today (Sunday). It's on I-85 about ten miles northeast of Concord, almost up to Salisbury. It's a series of big old sheds, maybe eight or ten, linked by passages, with booths with rough wooden tables and ever kind of low-rent flea market goods you can imagine. If you want your ferret, you can find it there, your bong, your airbrushed t-shirt or front license plate that shows a Smiley Face With A Bullet Hole, your barbeque pork rinds, your mangoes (at least two different kinds, papayas, used tvs, reconstituted computer terminals, what-have-you. It's almost, but not quite third world---the clientele is about 40% Hispanic, 40% Redneck, 15% Black, and 5% Other. Half of everybody is way too fat, half of everybody smokes, and a large percentage sport tattooes, some of them a lot of tattooes. So I went up there last week and looked for photos without success. This one lady said she had a box but she didn't have them there (it was raining); she would bring them the next time she came, and she said she was there every day. Naturally I couldn't find her. Another dealer said he had some photos in a storage building, but there was so much stuff in the building that he couldn't get the front door open. There was a back door, but it had a padlock on it, and he had tried every key he had, without success. I should try back, his son-in-law was going to try to break in. Meanwhile, there was another dealer in this fellows' booth buying something, and she said she had some photos I might want to look at, They were from CBS, and had a copyright stamp on the back that said you couldn't reproduce them for any reason. Well, she did have some photos from CBS. One of them showed Walter Cronkite talking to Anwar Sadat, but it was a photo of a tv screen where Walter Cronkite was talking to Anwar Sadat. And then there were two other tv screen photos of just Anwar Sadat, the camera getting closer each time. Then there was a plastic sleeve with this photo and nine others. On the outside, it said "Eleven photos," but there were just ten. So this is one of those ten photos.On the back of this photo, there are two rubber stamps: One says, "Wiele & Klein Views, Post Cards, & Lantern Slides of South India Mount Road, Madras, Ootacamund & Coonoor" and the other says "This photo is our copy right For permission to publish apply to Wiele & Klein, photographers Madras, Ootacamund & Coonoor. Photo # 17082."
