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.

Love your stuff! I need a negative scanner, I've started developing the rolls of film I've found -- never know what you're going to find so decided I should learn how, rather than send everything to Photomat. :)
I have my own found photo site, Laughter is the Spackle of the Soul. All but a handful came off of paper prints, but I do have some scanned B/W negatives from Brownie cameras. (A little Scotch Tape and a backlight, and my flatbed scanner is fine with them.)
Reciprocal linking available. :-D
Hi Mushroom!
