Great Old Pictures From The 30's&40's













If you're old (as some of us are) and love photography, you'll enjoy these old WPA photos. Kodachrome had a few problems at birth, but within a year or two became the premier color film of all time. Nothing has ever surpassed it for resolution and archival qualities. Sadly, it has essentially died out and only one lab in the world will still process it, and then only 35mm.

The WPA was a good thing for at the time, and because they paid professional photographers to document the program we have a legacy of photographs, many in color, that realistically documented that period in our history. This site (link below) is well worth a look if you like history and photography.


A Look Back In History

Wow! Nice old photos and a look at history.

I'd been to Rochester a few years back and Eastman Kodak and that town sure ain't the same.

I heard that Kodachrome is now obsolete. Never used it, and I heard it was hard to develop, but what a spectacular result.

I think film will be soon a thing of the past. digital is the way too go. The pictures are every bit as good as film, And you can do everything at home.
