Smooth Criminals

A couple of photos from an album of 1920s criminals. From a description on one of the photos:

This picture is one of a series of around 2500 “special photographs” taken by New South Wales Police Department photographers between 1910 and 1960. These “special photographs” were mostly taken in the cells at the Central Police Station, Sydney and are, as curator Peter Doyle explains, of “men and women recently plucked from the street, often still animated by the dramas surrounding their apprehension”. Doyle suggests that, compared with the subjects of prison mug shots, “the subjects of the Special Photographs seem to have been allowed – perhaps invited – to position and compose themselves for the camera as they liked. Their photographic identity thus seems constructed out of a potent alchemy of inborn disposition, personal history, learned habits and idiosyncrasies, chosen personal style

Seems secure to me

Longtime readers will know im an enthusiastic reader of the locksmiths r us blog and thus will be entirely unsurprised that I found this spiffing image there today. If I have to explain it you wouldn’t understand… anything.

On the ABC news website there’s this great interactive photo series of ariel photography of brisbane incorporating striking befores and afters. As a redditor said, it’s a pretty slick interface to roll out for such a tragedy.

Judge not by the colour of the photograph

CALVIN: Dad, how come old photographs are always black and white? Didn’t they have color film back then?

CALVIN’S DAD: Sure they did. In fact, those old photographs are in color. It’s just the world was black and white then.

CALVIN: Really?

CALVIN’S DAD: Yep. The world didn’t turn color until sometime in the 1930s, and it was pretty grainy color for a while, too.
