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.

Great interior shot!
And then there's individual unboxed light bulbs and Goebl Bantam beer! No wonder you don't see that brand of smokes around anymore, they undersold themselves. (Unless they were like Dutch Masters "Turkish Deight" cigs, which weren't kept behind the counter with the rest, they were next to the pipecleaners -- the label admitted they were only 50% tobacco. We speculated the other half was sawdust and floor sweepings.)
spagetti- 2 for 25 cents!!
