If you love aimlessly spending time on [Tumblr](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tumblr-campaign) and other photoblogs that poke fun at hilarious photo niches, Black and WTF is another one to add to that list.

This hilarious Tumblr site is fully of peculiar images from the era when black-and-white film was all that existed for photography. The images in the stockpile date anywhere from the late early 1900s to the days when color film was finally invented.

The images are very strange and involve some crazy characters in odd situations. You never know what you'll find browsing through the several pages of black-and-white madness. Black and WTF is a hilarious name and it does justice for the images you will come across on this photoblog.
