Square America Photographs

"Square America is a site dedicated to preserving and displaying vintage snapshots from the first 3/4s of the 20th Century. Not only do these photographs contain a wealth of primary source information on how life was lived they also constitute a shadow history of photography, one too often ignored by museums and art galleries." via

Incredible, thanks. I collect vintage photographs so this will have me occupied for hours.

You get the billysumday stamp of approval, which may mean nothing to you, but to me, it means the site kicked my rear with its total awesomeness and mega raditude.

Great website. Theses snapshots complement the posed photographs of Disfarmer who captured the lives and emotions of the people of rural America between 1939-1945. Both websites allow us a glimpse of the people and the times of our recent American past.

Wow. I've only just looked at the photo booth pages, and this is already the best thing I've seen in ages. (Photo 3 on page one is such an amazingly haunting portrait.)

Immediately upon seeing the very first image on there, this voice popped into my head... It was an old man's voice, and it was saying, "Why back in my day, we didn't have Nintendo!"

This is fascinating, and for some reason, sobering. Every life in this century is so much like every other...barring the occasional WTF...

That site has some great images. I hope they will add more soon.
