Vernacular Photography
posted by Ookpik at 10:15 PM
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.

Hi Becky!
Are you the same Becky from last year?
YES! I requested the Beatlemaniacs and teens last year! Thank you so much for remembering me, and for the *awesome* pictures of the beehive ladies! My day is a little brighter when the hair is a little higher. You are the best!
Hey-
I'm looking for pictures (not many) of mid to late 1960's women drinking and smoking (at the same time). Cocktail dress. I need to show examples of such to prove I'm not an idiot.
Basically, nobody believes that she would hold her glass in the same hand as her cigarette.
I can't prove she did, so I'm the shmuck.
