About What's That Picture?

This website was conceived during the summer of 2006 as my personal interest in vintage photographs grew.

In my own rather random collections I have been struck by how many photographs simply have no provenance, yet look as though someone, somewhere, should certainly know where or perhaps when they were taken, or what or who they are of.

This new site is intended as a community site where people can post their vintage hotos and have other members and casual visitors pass comment and help to identify hem. Of course this then gives the photo increased value, both monetary, and istorical.

Membership is intentionally free, and you don't even have to be a member to make comments, hoping that as many people as possible will contribute, whether just passing a quick comment as they come across something they recognise, imparting their knowledge and expertise, or posting a whole collection of photos.

Here are a few links to get you started...

Most of all, I hope you enjoy exploring the site, but also that you do your bit and contribute wherever possible - the success of the site depends on it!
