Strand

Wednesday 2 November, 2011 / Vintage / Comments { 21 }

i don’t know whether to high five or punch nic grobler (of bicycle portraits, who i posted about here) for introducing me to the gahetNA National Archives. high five because it’s AWESOME, of course, or punch because i lost hours of my life browsing its magnificence.

i decided to start off with a simple keyword – strand meaning beach in dutch (having afrikaans on my side helps in this case, but google translate should get you on the right track) in order to get some vintage summer psyching going on.

    these images are insain. My heart is racing scrolling through this post. I love the one of the two ladys hugging in maxi skirts. There is so much going on behind them.

    This is so gloriously a girly selection of photos. I love the frilly swim wear and the girls checking out the hot guy walking past. It could be a vintage inspired shoot.
