I collect vernacular photography

Submitted by laurenorourke on Sat, 12/08/2012 - 05:00. Permalink

I go to flea-markets and rummage through boxes and find snap- shots of people and their families from days gone by. Most of the ones I find are from the 1960's and 70s, but sometimes I find some from the WWII era.

Here is a website that shows samples of vernacular photography. If you go through the archives, there are lots of great and funny photos and shows what real people were doing, wearing and eating a long time ago:
