I did a little write up about the man in this photo. I love old pictures but what I love most is the history of the people in the photographs

Gonna have to visit that New Art Painless Dentist! Actually not much has changed. Still costs an arm and a leg. Wonder if they took those too?

Finding Vivian Maier about this photographer is now on Netflix. A bit controversial about who owns the rights to her images and whether it should have been made but a good documentary regardless.
I'll start with a recently re-found female street photographer Vivian Maier. http://www.vivianmaier.com/
I've read various interesting 1800s-early 1900s books on archive.org in the past, which made it clear that a lot more...shenanigans of various sorts went on back then than those who try to idealize the past want to admit (or even know of, since typical history books sure don't talk about most of it).

Lest ye think I have forgotten thee.
Last night I watched an episode of Ken Burns new docs on the National Parks. I have traveled to several in the West and stayed up late looking at old photos. The National Parks Service has a lovely collection to lose time in.
Here are two of the main guys you should thank if you love the National Parks. Muir Woods is a treasure. Teddy was a rascal but I thank them both!
Photographer: unknown. Theodore Roosevelt and John Muir on Glacier Point, Yosemite Valley, California, 1906. NPS.

Close enough to 1980 and yes creepy as hell! Anyone who took those is crazy.Today is the 30 year anniversary of the reactor meltdown at Chernobyl, so I thought some more absolutely creep as hell pictures were in order!
Also hard to believe it has been already 30 years. I remember being in middle school when that happened and watching the news broadcasts there.

Been looking at old Britain photos this past week. I have only been there once but fell madly in love with the fog. Found these wonderful night shots from the 1950's.

I have two to add.
This car was rather prominent back in the day, known as one of the fastest Firebird's of the early 70s. A close family friend drove it for a few years (sponsored by the local dealership), and eventually quit when the constant maintenance required more money than he had. After he passed, it was given to my father, and then given to his close friend. It was a victim of a nasty rear-end collision, and insurance totaled it out. It is currently sitting in a shed, having not seen the light of day in about 2 years. It still starts right up and really isn't in that bad of shape. It's just rather hard to find a bumper for these particular cars. Myrtle Motors Pontiac was a performance-oriented dealership. If memory serves correctly, this particular car came special ordered with a supercharged 455.
The next one is the car I recently came in possession of about a month ago. It has been in the family since new. There isn't much history behind this one, although it's reputable in the family for leaving long, black streaks on the road. Not too sure on the year this picture was taken.
