shorpy
shorpy is one of those sites i should have discovered years ago, but instead only found in the past month via this via that via this via some other site i forget. anyway i’m glad i did because these vintage images are quality. and when i say quality, i mean HIGH quality.
Most of the photos on this site were extracted from reference images (high-resolution tiffs, 20 to 200 megabytes in size) from the Library of Congress research archive. Most were digitized by LOC contractors using a Sinar studio back. They are adjusted for contrast and color in Photoshop before being downsized and turned into jpegs.
some of my favourites:
hilda grahnat
I am a 22 year old graphic design student, born and raised in the dark forests of Sweden. I take pictures to remember, to preserve a passing moment and to distinguish interesting details from their otherwise average surroundings. I love traveling and take my best pictures when I travel. I have a fondness for all things vintage, typography and morning light. I have spent most of my life thinking I cannot draw. I am not yet convinced of the contrary, but at least now I am trying.
well said, hilda. her vintage items styled by colour are a dream…

bygone
i decided to start scanning in all our old family photographs, mostly for safety’s sake – but also to share some of the pretty radical images my parents have in their archives. you can see the complete (and growing) set here.

colour with an u
i love grouping things by colour (you’d only need to take a peek at my fashion specials to figure that out) – so i was immediately drawn to these object collages by salbug00. i would attempt this but i don’t think i even own enough stuff, the benefits of living in a small flat i suppose. actually, i did sort all my books by colour – it looked something like this:
just… not as cool.
