Interview with creator of the Internet K Hole, a fantastic blog of found 1980s photos

Ritual interviewed Bronwyn, the woman behind the [NSFW] Internet K Hole, a "deep and vast collection of found and collected photographs from the late '70s, '80s and early '90s."

Where abouts do you collect these images from? Garage sales? Second hand shops? Or do you scour the internet for them?

I’d say 75% of the photos I find on the internet and then 25% are from flea markets/my own family/submissions. I haven’t had much luck with flea markets lately, all of the photos seem to be from the 40s-70s and I much more prefer photos from the 80s and 90s.
