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.

Funny...when my dad was taking me to get a scooter, I saw a tractor very similar to this and THAT is what I wanted! Alas. NO! You are getting the scooter or nothing..GOT IT? AND DON'T YOU CRY! (Which made it MUCH harder NOT to cry!) Eh..anyway..what would I have done with a tractor in low income housing? Plant a garden in the field out back?
Yeah..cool. I would have been the happy girl!
