A través de del.icio.us he encontrado esta página con una colección de fotografías antiguas de “origen desconocido”. Son de temática variada, aunque predominan las fotos de viajes por el mundo (Asia, África, …) y algunos desnudos. Hay algunas fascinantes, incluso desconociendo el contexto en el que fueron tomadas.

En palabras del creador de la página:

“OK, so, my opinion: the singular brilliance of photography is it’s capacity for allowing hacks & amateurs to create the accidental, offhand masterpiece. Your grandma has no great unread novels or perfect lost symphonies written by her & still tucked away in a drawer in some upstairs closet - but the odds are she does have a photo or two snapped by Uncle Lou in 1939 with a $2 Brownie that wouldn’t be out of place on the walls of MOMA. Hopefully somebody will give me a million-dollar grant to go door-to-door looking for these someday. In the meantime when I get bored I snoop about on ebay, the library of congress, etc, & post the cream of what I find on Mirror World.“
