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.

Maybe a view from Rose Terrace, the Dodge mansion in Grosse Pointe, with Peche Island in the background? Is the slide definitely from the 1940s? Could it be a photo from the early 1970s, during the estate auction prior to demolition?
Hi Mike,
The negative is definitely from the 1940's. It comes from the collection of a man who photographed ships as traveled up/down the St. Clair River.
