One of my pet peeves with tumblr and pinterest is that while it's got a plethora of swanky imagery, I kind of like having some context for the pictures, like who took them or where they came from or what exactly they're portraying. Maybe it's the inner bibliothequer in me, I don't know, but I like having backstory and all, but if there's a starting point, it's a welcome thing, to find other rabbit holes to tumble down. Not much about him out there, but these were the kind of things that enthralled me as a kid.
