In the 1920s and 1930s, censorship of movies was often governed by local boards, and achieved by snipping the scenes from the film reels. It won’t surprise anyone that those clipped film segments were sometimes saved. Here a number of them have been assembled into a montage, which was submitted to the 2007 72 Hour Film Festival in Frederick, Maryland.My first job in NYC was as a graphic designer, tucked away in my own department on Fifth Avenue (I'm so Mad Men!) Up front was a copy shop (remember those?) and one-hour photo joint (remember those?)
My very first day my boss is kinda walking me around, he was a cool guy, we were bullshitting etc when from outta nowhere he asks me "are you uncomfortable with nudity?"
"Welcome to New York," I shook my just-fell-off-the-turnip-truck head, preparing myself for days in a basement being forced into sex Pulp Fiction-style.
"No," I bravely mustered.
Then he opened a drawer, and there were thousands of XXX photos from everyday customers that the guys up front had developed duplicates of and kept one for "the archives." Awesome.
