There’s just so much to like here, but my favorite is the boy with the glasses towards the upper left.

The Leaning Family
Left-leaning family, 1950s
A family posing at Christmastime. There are a million of these, but this one just has that certain something in my view.

Double Exposure
Tupperware baseball boy, 1954
A double exposure is not an uncommon thing to run across in old photos. I suppose you can do them with a digital camera(?) – and of course they can be made in Photoshop with ease. But nothing compares to the magic of an accidental one. So as film is used less and less, I guess double exposures could be considered a real endangered species. This is one I really like.

The Office
An office in the 1950s
It sure is a reminder of how thoroughly times have changed to see a photo of an office from before the computer era. Just typewriters, telephones and paper, that’s about all you see. There were probably a few more ashtrays, too. I bet they actually probably got more done in some ways.
