Vintage Girl With Vintage Camera

25th August 2013 | Katherine Jane

The latest of our multitude of images with girls with cameras that pepper this blog (although, as it’s from Tumblr we yet again have no idea who the photographer or model is).

More Anonymous Tumblr…

5th June 2013 | Alice Taylor

As the temperatures seem to be still on the rise, it doesn’t take much to prompt me to consider whether there’s a chance to slip away to the beach (if not today, perhaps tomorrow).

…but I do wish that Tumblr users would credit the images that they post.

Denis Piel

12th May 2013 | Alice Taylor

I admit that I’ve not come across the French photographer Denis Piel before, but he certainly knows how to create a fine image.

The images are as follows:

M+A fight, 1984

…and I’d love to know the story behind that one.

Imagination, 1985

My New York (2), 1986
