About Me
- Name: Ookpik
- Location: Michigan, United States
I began my interest in vernacular photography by a chance acquisition of over 10,000 negatives dating from the late 1920's through the early 1970's. Luckily, I knew what I had was something more than "someone's old pictures." This cache of old images became the impetus for me to create two Photoblogs: Ookpik’s Negativity and Mystery Ships Of The Great Lakes. Ookpik’s Negativity contains photos that I would like to know more about while Mystery Ships Of The Great Lakes features photos of ships that I am trying to identify.

John from Troy, MI was close, but no kewpie doll, John! The airplae is an ERCOUPE, designed and built following WW2 by ERCO (Engineering and Research Corporation), in Maryland.
They were fun to fly, but a Globe Swift or even a Culver Cadet is more exciting.
