Mark Sullo at the House of Mirth

I wrote a guest blog entry called "Half Frame Cameras & the Anonymous Snapshot" for a relatively new site focusing on vintage photography and paper ephemera called House of Mirth Vintage Photos & Ephemera... Once upon a time, I had been using this type of camera which led to my collecting these found images. For the wordier version, click on the above link. If you have an interest in this type of camera and/or antique cameras, I highly recommend looking at these pages on innovative cameras, including half frames.


Stacy Waldman is a vintage photo seller and works from her website called "House of Mirth". I'm the third guest blogger to submit something... Robert Jackson started things off with a selection from his collection and an essay on found snapshots taken through chain link fences... Barbara Levine chose from her collection of accidental photos taken with fingers in front of the lens. In between, Stacy posts on news and findings from her photography experience and will continue to have guest submissions...

Accidental Mysteries

These photographs are just a few from a wonderful selection posted at a favorite blog called Accidental Mysteries. While the author, John Foster, covers a fairly wide range of cultural artifacts I tend to be most taken by his anonymous & vernacular photography collection and folk art. More of the former can be seen here... Surprise links if you click on the photos.

take me to the water....

Jim Linderman writes and edits several blogs, all dealing with anonymous photography, folk art, antiques and vintage graphics. I first heard of him, as a collector, while his first book " Take Me to the Water:Immersion Baptism in Vintage Music and Photography 1890-1950" was being designed locally by John Hubbard and Rob Millis. Produced by the essential label Dust to Digital, it has a mind boggling selection of images, as well as a great CD of gospel music and sermons, mostly from the South. Recently I've discovered several blogs maintained by him, all of which are indexed here... Evidently his visual interests spreads far and wide, and he is representing them all with regularity.
