Canadian fruit excels
Feb. 5th, 2012 10:24 pmSomeone save me. I have discovered Shorpy, and I'm not sure I'll ever come out.
Particularly when the guy behind it posts pictures like the most adorable dog in the world. Or weird shots like this.
In fact, here's a bunch of links.
COME TO CANADA! (Please?)
Colorized version of above.
Dramatic Grand Central Terminal scene. (colorized)
Stocking stuffer. (colorized)
Oh, what those crazy rich girls of 1926 got up to. (colorized)
They were apparently popular photographic subjects. (colorized)
They had a fun day.
Don't mind me, just chillin' on the streetcorner...
Saddest merry-go-round ever.
Harlem River, 1890 (colorized)
I can feel my soul shriveling as I look at this.
Looks like someone skipped over to Redverse!
So much drama in everyone's expression here.
Leapfrogging.
Obligatory Dorothea Lange, but not the ones you're thinking of. (Also in color.)
Speaking of which, nice shoes, Ms. Lange.
Polar bears like jazz.
Working paddlewheelers. (colorized)
What a cute little airplane! Let me give you a hug! (colorized)
DC street, 1918. (colorized)
Dallas noir. (colorized)
Saddle shoes.
"Why would you do this to me? Why?"
(Also there is Retronaut, which has such amusing collections as black cat auditions in 1961. I like the groupings, but I find them harder to navigate than Shorpy.)
