i like the really early stuff, especially portraits. being that everyone had to sit motionless for so long in order for the film to develop properly it give the pictures a lifeless creepy vibe that i enjoy. my dad has a great book of portrait photography from the early part of last century. i need to borrow that thing.

I don't have anything post but i def agree on the awesome factor of old black and white photos. I fucking love it when places (usually pubs or restaurants) have a big black and white photo of what the outside street used to look like a bazillion years ago. I love it.

 

 

edit: Rage that thread you linked to is brilliant.

I've posted these before.

But I still like them.

Right next to me are literally a dozen old photo albums that I have been sorting through.

I brought all my granny's photos from her house last time I went up to visit.

Maybe later on today I will scan some more.

If the mood strikes.

I need to get a scanner! Blood Fart, according to my mom, those photos of kids sitting on black and white ponies were a common novelty back in the day. My mom has a picture of her on one. Somewhere Ive got a picture of my grandad at a cock fight in Puerto Rico, with other soldiers betting money. Also Ive got a pic somewhere of my grandma and her sisters in Japan posting up on an early 50's model Mazda.

These might not be as interesting to others, but to me they are. It's so weird seeing places you see everyday during a whole different era
