Shorpy

Most of my friends know that I really love digital photography. I've always enjoyed taking pictures; in fact I received my first camera back in 1971 when I graduated from kindergarten. The first picture I took with that camera was of my great-grandmother standing in front of the school building. But my interest has really taken off over the past several years with the digital photography revolution, and especially moreso after my wife gave me my Canon Digital Rebel for Christmas a couple of years ago.

So it's a real treat for someone like me to stumble across a website like this one:

http://www.shorpy.com/

It calls itself the 100 year old photograph blog, but many of the images are between 50-70 years old, some newer, some older. Nonetheless, I find it to be a fascinating site with plenty of old pictures to look at and composition ideas to be found.
