Negatives from the studio, searchable by year, place, and subject.
This is a working catalog of negatives held at Moondog Mechanica. Each entry is a photograph of the negative itself, made with a phone camera against a homemade lightbox — not a flatbed scan, and not a print-quality reproduction. It's meant for quickly identifying what's on a given negative, not for archival-grade viewing.
The catalog exists to make the collection searchable: browse by year, location, or subject to find a negative that might fit a project or be worth a closer look. Personal and editorial use is welcome with credit and a link back to Moondog Mechanica; commercial use requires permission from the studio in advance — see “About & Rights” at the bottom of the page.
