squareamerica.com. I have just arrived to this site surfing the net.

Square America is a collection which compiles vintage snap shots from the XX century. Here you can find the kind of photos that museums and galleries ignore. These are pictures of normal people at normal situations. The owner bought those photos on markets, eBay, from friends, or he found them in a photo booth…

If you take a look at these photos, it will be like a trip, thinking about all those people and what they were doing at that time. It reminds me when I go to my grandma’s house and I watch the albums she has (only two) and a big box with more pictures of them, my parents, their parents… Their life story.

May be any of you think about… why that name for the website? This is because the favorite format photo of the collector is 3.5” x 3.5”, though in his archives there are different formats. squareamerica.com has the pictures grouped by themes, such as pets, weapons, or space missions(pictures taken of TV!), and a blog The Boat Lullabies.
