Made by Somebody is a little shrine (and ongoing collection) to the weird and wonderful world we live in, images made with earnest intent, awkward charm, and unmistakably human hands.

Sourced from the archives of vintagestockphotos.com, this project is a personally curated exploration of what makes us human.

It’s also a quiet reflection: in an age of AI-generated everything, this is a space to linger with what already exists; what was once imagined, posed, lit, and captured by somebody. A sideways glance at creativity, nostalgia, and the strange beauty of things made by somebody before the algorithm.
