Excerpts From The Annals of Everyday Life (The Square America Snapshot Archive)
The urge to see as many fascinating images as possible has always been a driving force for me. Since being exposed to the history of photography, the relentlessness of the visual is practically primal. I once believed (long ago) that I must have looked at more pictures than anyone alive... it goes without saying that any pretense toward measuring or imagining such a feat is no longer even remotely possible. However, at this point, there is no denying that one could go blind trying.
Since recently beginning this blog, I've deliberated over what to post: articles, guest contributions, just photos, links, historical references ??? While coming to no conclusion and with a tendency toward of all of the above, I'm beginning the New Year with just a few excerpts from Square America... As far as I can tell, the hands down champion at representing the vast source of found vernacular photography in all of its glory...
From the links to these images can be found an endless road, a circle, a river, patterns and cross references that could be suitable to whatever journey you might want to set out on.... This particular section of Square America is dedicated to "A few notes towards a complete account, rendered in photographs, of everything that has ever happened." - the added enjoyment of following a vast array of tags and date links as per whim or design doubles the fun of exploring this amazing snapshot archive.... these images are the first I came across tonight, and by no means are my favorites. I'm saving those for next time.
