Mug shots have always fascinated me. There’s no fake smiles or forced expressions (usually) and I like to think we show more of our real selves when we’re in really bad situations. Least Wanted is an ongoing Flickr stream of mug shots and forensic photos from mostly the 1920’s and 30’s featuring carnies, small-time hooligans, and other snappy dressing nere-do-wells.
