DISCOVER
THE LOST PHOTOS
My father was a photographer and in the seventies, after years of being a studio photographer, he came up with this idea of photographing people at work. He’d map out an area of a town where the businesses were, park his car, and walk into many of these places and tell them about his idea. “Most people work their whole lives and don’t have a single photo of themselves at work” he’d say. “So I’d like to take your picture, then I’ll develop it and print it, and bring back a black and white 5X7 tomorrow. If you like it, it’s three bucks.” He photographed thousands of people at work in the seventies and eighties. Black and white became color. Three bucks became five, then seven. He’s gone now, but he left behind thousands of his photos and negatives of people at work in Rhode Island. We’re going to scan and post them into this gallery. It’s an ongoing project that will take a while. Check back often. Maybe you’ll see someone you know or remember.
