A word of caution Ann... it can absorb time like a black hole can suck in light!!! Great to see you've eventually found it!

Hi Ann,

I used to visit Shorpy fairly regularly but haven't done so for a while. Thanks for the nudge.....

Great link. I think we've seen it before when someone else here linked to a specific post, but I'd completely forgotten about it.

I am a Shorpy addict. Some of my favorite images have come through there, and I love to see the FSA photographers roll through periodically.

The image quality of some of the old prints on Shorpy are really impressive - still more detailed than a lot of modern stuff

Thanks for the reminder, Ann. I used to visit here a lot, but, it seems like an age. I enjoy sites that distract me from  what I really ought to be doing  ;D
