The Finest in Vintage Photography Since 2005
Okay folks: Here it is, the bulk of my collection of photographs of people in costume. Not necessarily all halloween photos but mostly so. And because I’m not a monster and halloween is just around the corner, I’ve added some spooky non-costume photos as well. Over 250 photos in all- Enjoy!
Clowns– what more needs to be said.
A little something for the season: Some photos from a police file regarding a grave robbing here in Chicago in the early ’80s. Warning: There are a couple of photos that some might find disturbing!
A series of mirror self-portraits from a very enthusiastic woman. As there is some nudity- NSFW
Upon further reflection I give you this album of mirrors and the occasional window.
Composite pics, negative strips, proof sheets- when photos collide narratives are formed. Look here for proof.
A companion to to my recent Small Craft Advisory post- this one featuring about 75 pics of larger vessels. Click here to see ’em.
Autumn has arrived and here in Chicago the breeze off of the lake is already turning cooler. So it’s time to get those boats in dry dock but here are a few memories to get you through til next summer.
A series of damaged paper weaving exercises by one Jennie Ford from an early 20th c. album.
I couple of years ago I picked up a cigar box filled photos and ephemera kept by a Korean War era G.I.. The photos were odd- mostly direct negative nude prints. The ephemera was straight up early 50s humorous erotica: Tijuana bibles, a pamphlet about urination, etc… Very tame but definitely not safe for work.
