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.

What a beautiful photo...it is interesting about burning leaves..I have always loved the smell of them and it wasn't till I read what you said that I realized I have not smelled burning leaves for...gosh, many many years! It is probably outlawed here in L.A., too.
I used to love the smell of burning leaves in the fall. I grew up in upstate NY - Orange County near the Shawangunk mountains. The time leading up to Halloween - Indian summer - heralded many crisp, clear days with the wispy waves of smoke in the air - and the smell - pure heaven.
