Video Added
I added a video I had downloaded from You Tube (or actually Kick You Tube since it was in MP4 format). It's a personal favorite and in my book a classic. By the way, the video is available on DVD if you look around on the Web. It has a somewhat longer sequence and the resolution is much better.

WELCOME
Welcome to the CCD CLASSIC PHOTO ARCHIVE.
This site has been established as an adjunct to Club CCD and its affiliated sites, and is meant to provide a definitive collection of cancan-related imagery from the "Golden Age" (1931-1969). Due to space considerations on the Yahoo network, I have decided to transfer our substantial body of black & white photography into a single archive, drawing together the work of the critically acclaimed photo-journalists who documented the Cancan during its postwar renaissance.
Services include message boards, photo albums and links to the online cancan community. Membership is open to everyone, and contributions are always welcome. All images posted to our galleries must be traditional black & white (and nothing later than 1969). Please note that any postings deemed obscene, inappropriate or malicious will be removed immediately and their authors banned from the community.
Cheers.
Perry Fowler
Founder, Club CCD.
