Square America
It's  hip to be square in this "shadow history" of photography in the first three-quarters of the 20th century. The site's curator scrounges flea markets and eBay for vintage photos, and then groups the photographic treasures by theme. Neighbors hang out in the yard, families gather in the kitchen, and love is everywhere. Naturally, the collection records holidays, birthdays, proms, and vacations. But smoky nightclubs, glowing TV screens, and open caskets also lurk within. Special features showcase serious and silly photo booth pictures, strangely hand-tinted photos, and people caught sleeping. The shadowy lesson? You never know who's watching or where that photo will end up. (in Photography) |
