Look what I found today. In backtracking link references I came upon this blog which posted a translated version of my Unemployment design. I wonder if it's the same person that wrote me asking what font I use. At any rate it was a funny surprise.

square america

More great vintage photography. The name of the site is Square America. Don't let the name fool you though. Although the images you will see are indeed predominantly square there are also some of the rectangle variety. Scandalous.

The website is a bit tough to navigate... nested menus and hard to find links, BUT the minor inconvenience is worth the major payoff. The curator of this collection has been scouting out these old images for years and from the sound of it has an impressive lot. This leaves plenty of opportunities to add new (er, old) material often.


I can't get enough of these old pictures. There is an undeniable draw that is hard for me to articulate. Found = curiosity, amusement, bewilderment. Vintage = nostalgia, dusky pastels, transformed color. Together they make me happy. Thanks mystery web person! Keep doing what you're doing.

film time forgot

This may look like your family from way back (kudos if that's actually the case)... that's because it very well could be. Mango Falls has a decades worth of old film found in vintage cameras (think thrift store or flea market). I think this is hands down one of my favorite websites and projects. The camera is merely the vessel for the real treasure. It's all sort of a crapshoot for the seeker on the prowl but the payoff is pure gold; I'm only happy to be a guest following the hunt.

Don't skip the "Willow" section while exploring the site. A departure from kitsch, it will however melt your heart and open your eyes.
