Vintage Hawaiian Photography

Thanks to one of my favourite blogs, Double Takes, I got introduced to these gorgeous vintage photographs dug out from a Hawaiian attic.  They depict the beautiful Waikiki from 1954-7, pre abundant tourism and digital photography.

When I first saw these images I spent some time lamenting the lack of  beach life in Korea, wishing I could exchange city living for a shack near the ocean.  It's now a few days later and I'm in the middle of booking a week surfing in Biarritz in August with one of my best friends.

"I love solid backgrounds the most when it comes to shooting people.  But that could easily change. "

Individual Tumblrs usually aren't worth mentioning as they're usually full of reblogged, unoriginal content.  Queen of Anti-Social's Tumblr is different, though. It's run by a make-up artist with a penchant for analog photography, tattoos and behind-the-scenes shots.  All the photographs included belong to her and have this authentic, anti-fashion feel which is completely alluring and refreshing, especially paired with her down-to-earth blurbs that can be found beneath each one.
