duey Posted August 5, 2010 Posted August 5, 2010 Beautiful pictures...thanks for posting! An orange for a penny...wow.
DrDawkinstein Posted August 5, 2010 Posted August 5, 2010 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!

Nervous Guy Posted August 5, 2010 Posted August 5, 2010 BINGO! Exacta-mundo! Also, my 1976 First Holy Communion picture immortalized in oil (me in a green leisure suit... ) Anyway.. Is that Cincy I see in pic #4! It actually took 4 hours for a Cincy allusion...very disappointing. Anyway...terrific photos of simpler times.

DrDawkinstein Posted August 5, 2010 Posted August 5, 2010 BINGO! Exacta-mundo! so im not the only one? phew, i thought i was just weird. (still think im weird, but maybe everyone else is too)
ExiledInIllinois Posted August 5, 2010 Posted August 5, 2010 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... Wow... Outside of the superior optics of the day and the adjustable 35mm cameras of the day we were really "photo handicapped."
ajzepp Posted August 5, 2010 Posted August 5, 2010 Wow, that pic of the "P-51 Bomber in Flight" is stunning!
billsfan89 Posted August 5, 2010 Posted August 5, 2010 I love old photos in color it makes you really get a picture of the past black and white photos create some sort of a disconnect with photos.

PushthePile Posted August 6, 2010 Posted August 6, 2010 How about that guy covered in carbon in pic 70? I can't open a can of oil-base paint today, without having to get in s full bio-hazard suit and respirator. We've come along way. Great find and thanks for sharing.
The Dean Posted August 6, 2010 Posted August 6, 2010 1939-43? I think that's when Cincy had his mid-life crises. Great pictures!
