Vintage goodness

I love looking at old photographs. I love the architecture, the clothes, and the everyday things we see in photos. Claire loves vintage books (think Dick & Jane, Ladybird readers and Elf books), and I'm quite fascinated with the simple, everyday illustrations as well.

Browsing BoingBoing.net, I came across a great vintage photo site, with really crisp, clear photos. Have a look at Shorpy: History in HD. The full size photo of the drug store is really cool - you can see so much detail!
