An American guy wanted to recreate his favorite place when he was a child – the video arcade! ![]() Yesterday we posted beautiful babies asleep, today the post is about children from the past and the way they were. There’s something mysterious in the vintage pictures and it acts as a magnet that can make us look at them for a long minutes. I don’t know about you, but that how it happens with me. I just love old pictures that made it through history to reach us and can tell a thing or two… ![]() These photos give one a retro look at our visions of the future from yesteryear thru the artwork from Soviet and European popular tech and science magazine illustrations dating from the ‘30s thru the ‘70s. In other words what we thought the future would look like when we thought about it years ago. They provide an interesting perspective of where we are and what we can expect in the future. ![]() If you enjoyed “WTF Retro Pictures”, we think you will enjoy these as well. Can you imagine the nerve of the people playing tennis on the wing of a flying airplane, or the hilarity of an obese man riding a mini bike? And my but didn’t the girls go wild over rock and roll stars of days gone by. How ridiculous is it to have a bear taking a picture of a little boy or one of the first flying saucers? Equally amazing are a cowboy and his horse drinking from the same pond. Ah, the good old days. It is truly amazing that mankind survived them, yet we have such fond memories of them. ![]() A small series of movie mashups: movies seen as old video games! Well done.. ![]() These unique prints from the Pennington Photo Studio were accidentally discovered just recently. At the beginning of the last century, two photographers William Pennington and Lisle Updike traveled to four states: Colorado, Utah, New Mexico and Arizona, photographing the Indians. It is these prints that you are going to see inside the post. Beautiful photographs and interestingly enough, they have an excellent quality. Look. ![]() That’s how would the Daily picdump look if Izismile existed 50 years ago ![]() Do you want to see in what conditions office staff used to work, to see the equipment of the time? Then go inside the post. By the way, there are a lot of pretty girls, mostly secretaries ;) ![]() Because you can make a great artistic stuff with them. See how the American visual artist and composer Christian Marclay is doing it. Very creative and original, bravo! ![]() Even back then people liked to do funny and WTF things while taking pictures, it’s almost unbelievable ;) If there was the Internet in those days, these pictures would become real hits and would spread throughout the global network in the wink of an eye )) Enjoy! ![]() ![]() This email was forwarded to everyone with these attached photos and was like an urban myth: “Imagine moving into an old farmhouse in the Portuguese countryside, and, while walking around “the lower 40” of your new investment, you come across an old building. Curious as to what may be inside, you pry open the rusted door and for the first time in decades, one of the largest hordes of old cars ever discovered is exposed to sunlight.” Well, in fact the owner of the cars was a car dealer in the 1970s and 1980s, and decided to save the most interesting cars that came through his doors. When the barn was full, he padlocked and “soldered” the doors shut. The owner also wants to keep a secret about the cars’ location and his name. There are about 180 cars in the barn. And they worth a fortune. ![]() This is the following of the 1st part of Retro pictures of US cities in colors. The same photographer made them apart for the last 5. The pictures are mostly from Paris. Paris , 1960 ![]() This is just amazing. I love such photos, especially when they date from back then. These photos were made by Charles Weever Cushman, an amateur photographer who extensively documented the United States and other countries during 1938-1969. Los Angeles, 1952 ![]() I love all the pin-up and steampunk drawings and especially retro photos. I find them classy. ![]() |
