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.

Likewise, Happy Holidays to you. Looks like a bad exposure or flash cube(bulb)was a dud?
I recall photos looking like this and remember that the flash bulb or flash cube failed so this was the result. Can anyone confirm my explanation? Thanks.
Hi Robert,
I think a failed flash would result in an image similar to this but that is not the case.
This particular image was made from a color negative that was orange. I'm sure I could set my scanner in a specific way to get a better image or use Photoshop however I chose not to do that.
