Junk Shop Photos

Posted by Queuebot in Blog & Internet, Pictures on May 22, 2009 at 8:43 am



Take all those photographs you’ve got collected in treasured photo albums and imagine them suddenly discarded in a dusty old box in the corner of a junk shop and removed from any context that might explain just who the people in them are or what the heck they were doing when those pictures were taken. Photographer Wesley Treat has made a hobby out of sifting through these orphaned snapshots from other people’s lives and plucking out the most unusual and enigmatic, and has recently launched a blog titled Junk Shop Photos so other people can enjoy them and mock them with their own captions.

    I love buying photos from junky shops. I'm not interested in portraits but I have a nice collection of landscapes, a few family pets, and European landmarks.

    I'm thinking about opening an online junk shop and Google suggested this page. LOL

    Nice share, enjoying the vintage photos over at Junk Shop Photos.

    By the way, I love the comment box. How'd you do this?
