Vernacular Photography
posted by Ookpik at 2:08 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.

I grew up in Windsor ,just across from Detroit and recall a few winters this snowy but my backyard ice rinks were always melting a week or two after being made.I think we tend to remember the blizzards and we took photos but did not photograph all the winter thawing that occurred.Thanks for the great pictures.
Now that Spring is here,any photos showing new growth from flowers,trees would be nice to see.
