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.

The first guy looks like he's being filmed -- either for a cigarette ad or for one of those shocker films they show in school to convince you not to enjoy your life, er, have sex before marriage or take drugs or express independant thought.
The first guy looks a little like Chet Baker.
Wonderful!!! THANK YOU!!
