19/ The Office People
My dad photographed people. Friends and family today are grateful to have the pictures he took from the 1920's through the 1960's. He owned high-end cameras during times when most people had either an inferior camera or (more likely) none at all, and his homemade darkroom prints and negatives survive. I'm fascinated with his office pics from the 1940's and 50's. The calculators . . . the typewriters . . . the myriad rubber stamps . . . the clothes . . . the liquor . . . the card games . . . the parties!
