There are quite a few John Vachon photos at Shorpy. Some of my favourites here, here, here, or here. He was one of the photographers, along with Walker Evans and Dorothea Lange, employed by the Farm Security Administration in the Thirties to publicise the condition of America's rural poor.

[If, on the other hand, you're after a picture of a man smoking a pipe with his hand up a bull's arse, while another man sits on a stool collecting semen, well, Shorpy do that too.]

    I wonder why the first guy has his hand up the bull’s ass at all. One commenter calls it a “seminal massage”. I’ll have to tell my wife about that.

    Well yes, you can reach the seminal vesicles up there. When you google “seminal massage” it’s not always bulls they’re talking about, so I won’t link.
