Shorpy.com


only recently has digital photography caught up with the detail and quality that film and other photographic mediums were able to produce.
Several weeks ago I found this incredible site that collects old photography and scans it in at it's highest quality.
It's amazing to go back and see quick moments in history being preserved forever.
There are over 600 pages of pictures. I'm not a huge history buff (as stated here) but I could spend hours going through and enjoying each of these.
I highly recommend it.

I was looking through these pictures hoping to see ghost orbs, but then I realized that today's ghost orbs were yesterday's people. So logically, there are no ghost orbs in these pictures.
