National Archives: Man with Goat

THIS NATIVE OF RANDOLPH CENTER, VERMONT, QUIT A JOB AS AN AUTO MECHANIC TO RETURN TO THE FAMILY FARM IN HOPES OF KEEPING IT RUNNING. IN ADDITION TO JERSEY COW MILK, HE AND HIS MOTHER SELL GOAT'S MILK TO PRIVATE CUSTOMERS AND A LOCAL NURSING HOME, 05/1974

I use the National Archives as a resource for new designs, sometimes for inspiration, sometimes as actual elements. The online images are low res and very small, but I usually only use parts of them - shapes, textures, and colors. Many of the photos are wonderful on their own though, so I think I'll feature some of my favorites here on a regular basis. This one is a farmer and his goat. The caption is taken from the Archives site, and the all caps is theirs. They're shouting it at you.

I also love the Library of Congress flickr stream. It can be counted on.
