No, not a crappy hamburger pimped by a clown but the Mackinac Bridge. The bridge, which opened November 1, 1957, connects Michigan's Upper and Lower Penisulas.
Ookpik's Negativity was thrilled earlier this week with the acquisition of a box of about 500 slides. The slides date from the 1950's to the 1970's. A few slides will be forthcoming. Watch for them!
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.
