OM.2014. 098 - Ignatius Maximus Anonymous - Bill and Marylou - silver gelatin print circa 1940’s snapshot photo

The Archives contains thousands of randomly collected examples of vernacular photography in the Department of Photographic Records, mostly black and white snapshot photographs, photo booth photos, polaroids, etc. I assign all of these anonymous works to the photographer Ignatius Maximus Anonymous or I.M. Anonymous. Here are a few registered in 2014.

Love these snapshots as each one captures a moment in time long ago and tells a story. In one of the rooms of Texas Art Asylum, there's tens of thousands of old photos just waiting to be looked through and bought. I like that y'all have this Department of Photographic Records as it gives honor to the pictures and the subjects.
