What Was On (1957)
I've got another new show up over at Square America- this one's called What Was On (1957). It's a series of 48 photos of women on TV, all taken by the same photographer. Only two have any annotation on the back- both of those were taken in February of 1957, both late at night on stations broadcasting out of L.A. Most of the photos are polaroids and like most polariods of that era have a good deal of dust and emulsion left on the image. Later in the year the photographer (who I assume was a man but you never know) switched to a standard film camera. The photos record not only one person's obsession but also are a great record of the kinds of roles women played on TV and in films of the era. Clearly the photographer preferred melodramas (many are from films from the 30s and 40s which I guess were already being shown on late-night TV) as so many of the photos show women either frightened or upset though there are some photos of talk shows as well. If some of these look familiar I previously had a much smaller show of these up on Square America but took it down some time ago thinking they deserved a larger show but didn't get around to posting it until now. If anyone can identify any of the actresses or films let me know and I'll post the info underneath the photo.

I just got a great little series of 16 portraits of policemen, meter maids, and fire chiefs from Nazareth, Pennsylvania circa 1975. Here are a few- you can see the rest here.
