Shadowed.

SWAPATORIUM's gallery of antique photos with a silhouetted cameraman are either creepy or poignant, depending on your point of view. Some look like wraiths waiting to snatch unsuspecting children, while others look like departed loved ones lingering outside the frame. And still others just remind us of the dad who faithfully chronicled his family's life, without appearing in front of the camera all that often.

Interesting how, in shadows pics 1 & 3 (and maybe 2?) you can tell the photographer's using an old-tyme box camera. Instead of "hands up at face", the shooter appears to be staring at his/her shoes...
