Nick DeWolf was one of those passionate, indefatigable amateurs who were just made to live on via the Internet. He wasn't an amateur at his chosen profession, which was engineering; he co-founded Teradyne, a manufacturer of electronic test equipment that survives him. In his spare time, though, he was a photographic hobbyist, and a good one, and over a period of about fifty years he photographed everything: Guys in cars. The Boston skyline. Women on subway platforms. How many images are there in total? Who knows? DeWolf's devoted son-in-law, Steve Lundeen, has been uploading them a few at a time to Flickr for about the last six years. There are now almost 44,000 of them. Taken together they represent a vast, varied swath of the latter 20th century. "He carried a camera with him at all times," Lundeen writes, "usually a family of cameras. If you knew Nick, you got used to this…eventually, he'd be pointing his camera at you." (Via Retro Thing.)
