BARNUMVILLE: Striking Photos of Sideshow Performers

Photographer Matt Hoyle was lucky enough to get some of the most interesting sideshow performers and characters still working in the industry to his NY Studio. Matt gave them a slightly vintage look of the 1940′s era when the so-called “Freak Shows” were popular forms of entertainment. Over three weeks he photographed 30 people including a giant, little people, a fat lady (it’s what she calls herself), sword swallowers, knife throwers, human blockheads, lobster clawed man, a serpent lady and more!

When Olan Mills Goes Bad

This blog full of Olan Mills, Sears, and other similar portrait studio shots is just too funny. I’ve definitely seen some doozies in my parents’ album, and I have no doubt my kids will someday look back at our pictures and ruthlessly make fun of us. Until then, we can still mock these people.
