From the collection of The Mariners’ Museum, Catalog Number: P0001.001-01- -P239

这些年来,我一直工作在The Mariners’ Museum, I have compiled a list of photographs that I love. Photos that catch my eye in terms of their composition, or tone, or, often, their subject matter. One such picture came back to my attention recently when we put together a little popup exhibit for a group of local tattoo artists.

It is an image of a boy no older than 14, topless, and reclining on furs. He wears fringed shorts, ankle-high boots, and tattoos cover the young man’s exposed skin. His eyes pierce through your own while a cocky smile pulls the corners of his mouth. All the while, an older gentleman with a bushy mustache and newsboy cap presses a tattoo needle to the youth’s outer thigh. Above his hip stands a panel of tattoo flash and below that, a small square of the image is deliberately cut away.Read more

Over the past three years, our archival staff, with the support of several catalogers and the Digital Services department, have been working diligently on the Hidden Collections Grant sponsored by The Council on Library and Information Resources (CLIR). This grant allowed us to catalog and digitize items that have been sitting in storage for years. Through the process, we discovered many exciting images we never knew we possessed. One of my favorite collections was a series from the Hampton Roads Port of Embarkation (HRPE) during World War II.Read more

伊士曼柯达35毫米潜艇潜望镜摄像头标记I.目录#:2001.0038.000001

从阵亡将士纪念日到劳动节,水手博物馆将为每位访客提供1美元的门票。作为我们产品的一部分,我们将获得通常在存储空间中展示的文物,以与我们的访客分享。我承认,我的很多同事都超过了我的海上知识。但是,如果我知道的话,那就是相机。我做了一些挖掘,很惊讶,很高兴找到属于我的专业领域的东西。

This is an Eastman Kodak 35mm Submarine Periscope Camera Mark I. Which might well be the longest title ever assigned to a camera. Before this little beauty came along, submariners were restricted to holding regular cameras up to their periscope lens, taking a photo and hoping for the best. It rarely, if ever, worked as planned.Read more

The first step is a single light from above.

Once upon a time and a very good time it was there was
a bear coming down along the hallway and this bear
that was coming down along the hall met a nicens little photographer named Brock.

Sorry, James Joyce. You’re probably rolling in your grave at my weak attempts at imitation.Read more

Hello, reader, it’s me!

名字叫什么?我们称之为其他名称的银将很难拍照。看,当有人带给您有效的镜子,并要求您拍摄照片时,一些事情可能会贯穿您的头部。我不会在这里列出它们,因为它涉及一些诅咒。但是,不要绝望,您所需要的只是一些基本物理学。
