thats awesome!

 

especially because i tend to picture life in the past exactly how the popular pictures portray it.

 

i always imagine life in the 20s-40s to have actually been in black & white. life in the 50s-70s to have been grainy with a yellowish tint to it. it's weird to see these pics and be reminded that it was really no different from today's reality. Ha!

Anyway.. Is that Cincy I see in pic #4! :D

It actually took 4 hours for a Cincy allusion...very disappointing. :D

 

Anyway...terrific photos of simpler times. :D

so im not the only one? phew, i thought i was just weird.

 

 

 

(still think im weird, but maybe everyone else is too)

 

I went to Philmont back it 1984 and 1986 with the scouts... Just looking at the pictures I always thought were "great"... I shot them with a Kodak disc camera... :D:wallbash::D

 

Wow... Outside of the superior optics of the day and the adjustable 35mm cameras of the day we were really "photo handicapped."
