The comments are from the site. See the complete list here: http://listoftheday.blogspot.com/2007/09/great-olan-mills-photos.html Thoughtful Lance. Mirthful Lance. Two sides of a delightful coin. The Purvis family made several stops along the Oregon Trail to document their six-month journey. This photo was taken just two weeks before the dysentery took Momma to Jesus. Oh, this is super. What better way to capture the charm and innocence of a child than to plunk him down amid the coarse trappings of a life lived in pursuit of wealth -- oversized bills, an adding machine and the Wall Street Journal -- and make him sit inside a briefcase? (They probably just fold up the little demon right in there to carry him home.) The finishing touch is the globe, which completes the portrait of the young Antichrist in Chess King vest and Red Goose loafers, plotting his takeover of the world (insert maniacal laugh). That is, as soon as someone changes his poopy diaper.
These four are the best: Just a typical afternoon down on the plantation. In a business suit. Y'know, for a budget meeting with the slaves. Grapefruit smuggling isn't a crime, but posing it in profile should be. Hiroshima, 1945. The last known photo of Kelli and Señor Loco. I'd hide my face, too, little girl
There was a website that I can't remember where people submitted photos of unsuspecting people wearing old jerseys around town today. Man it was funny...examples, Quincy Carter, Al Del Greco, etc.
I think it is hilarious if the Olan Mills photographers thought these photos they took were so funny they decided to make them public.
Here's the one they made the dude remove... go to: this website and look for "Gorgotha." It's even better that someone recognized themselves and asked to be removed.
