I keep meaning to write a post about my favorite things on the Internets but I never seem to get around to it. So instead I will make one post about one of my favorite things, my favorite Flickr set.
The image above is from Least Wanted,a Flickr user that ostensibly collects old mug shots. I had no idea that this was a hobby before I found this feed. But wow, what interesting photos! I don’t know where one might find these things, but I love them. They are a lot of reasons to. They are photos of what are likely some of the less fortunate of a society often taken shortly after some traumatic event.
The faces sometime are as interesting for what you can’t read into them as they are for what you can.
Even their clothing is interesting. A lot of these were taken at a time when you would find even the worst criminals dressed in suits and ties … and HATS! Photos like this must be a gold mine for period costume designers. Any way check it out and enjoy.
