Welcome to the Shorpy Party! It's worth checking every day. For sure.
Weirdly, reassuring that whole "Jerry and Iane" thing had already played out on film way before my own plageristic life.
I loves me some Shorpy, oh yes. I'm particularly fascinated by the super-saturated color photography (1940s through 1970s) they will occasionally feature. Of course, the b&w is classic.
Damn you, Anthony Hecht!
This is one of the most visit-worthy web sites I've ever seen, you have the guilt of wasting more of my precious life on this fantastic trove of photos.
Be sure to click on 'view full size', the resolution of prints made from glass negatives is breathtaking.
this is amazing! thank you!
I love this blog for the really old photos. The newer ones of someone's (geeky dude in glasses) family get tiresome after a while, however.
Geeky families, tiresome? Never. But I also love, love, love the 40s and 50s Kodachrome slides, scanned huge.
Add another amen to the choir! That site is the bee's knees!
love love love this. thanks for the heads up.
Beautiful! Thanks for the heads up
Shorpy is great! Thanks for pointing out this site!
Shorpys is great...but y'all should check out Square America!
You can also friend Shorpy on Facebook, which has the amusing side effect of occasional status updates like "Shorpy is playing stickball" or "Shorpy is down in the mines" or whatever.
I love Square America. I'll have to go check out Shorpy. But don't forget Sepiatone: http://enotaipes.blogspot.com/
Yes, that is a shameless plug for my own blog.
Most of the photos on Shorpy are pulled from the Library of Congress online photo collection-check the original site out. Your tax dollars at work!
Another long-time Shorpy lover here. Good work, Anthony.
I'm also proud to say that Shorpy exposed me to the photography of Louis Wickes Hine, of whose work there was an exhibition at the Whatcom Museum of Art. I drove up to Bellingham with a friend to check it out, and supported the museum and local economy by hitting Boundary Bay afterwards. Go Shorpy!
and don't miss the recently retired, but awesomely archived blog extension of Square America.... The Boat Lullabies
