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.

Dunno where, but how about a couple of requests?
Got any hunting or fishing pix?
Bicycles?
I think it looks like St. Ignace. Up north they build their buildings close to the road, like in Hamtramck, and in the background their is the telltale image of a lake. Also, there are few places in Michigan where there is a city which sits on a hill above the water. Most watertowns are at sea level.
