While looking at the page, a few items struck our attention:
The Handmade Book: someone who was reminiscing about the past, remembering something that they lived through or wants to learn more about the past would probably buy this object. Piecing together a past that they might or might not have lived through.
“Because someone was trying to keep a token of their time.”
“This was something that was homemade… you get a sense of who [Freyer] is.”
Maybe someone would buy this because it could help the buyer relate to someone else in the world. "I think it would be cool to buy the book... to look at it."
The picture- Truthfully, I (Jen) would buy all of the pictures he sold because I collect things like that, trying to piece together a past of someone who I don’t know. Maybe someone would buy this because they want to tell a story, one that might relate to their life or might be a fantasy of what they wish they had.
The buyer did teach photography at Hamilton College, so that is one key reason to buy a photo- whether good or bad, "to motivate themselves and others" or to learn from mistakes
