Shorpy, the 100 Year-old Photo Blog

01099u.jpg

Shorpy is “a blog about old photos and what life a hundred years ago was like: How people looked and what they did for a living, back when not having a job usually meant not eating.” What a great collection of vintage photographs. Lots of inspiration to be found here.

Read about the site’s namesake here.

    Hey I know..let’s move the contents of the Library of Congress photographs to someone’s personal blog, don’t give credit and then sell copies of the pictures!! But it’s got a community now and it did credit the LoC somewhere in its history so it’s obviously progressed to be a legitimate and upstanding model for web behaviour.
