After reading what they are about I hope you enjoy looking at the pics just click the URL
These are some of the best historical photos of America in the 20th century I have ever seen. I hope you enjoy them.
Great old photos from the depression era of the 30's & 40's. Worth the time to review.
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 America 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.

Lakota these are wonderful photos. The quality when one thinks of how old some of them are is exceptional. I can remember when Kodachrome was Eastman Kodaks number one in film. Thank you for sharing.

The funny thing is, I still feel very breathless from reading those things. I feel very, different, sick. The change that America saw back then, the energy changes, although were good, they are also bad. We need a different way, a cleaner and greener way to light America. That's all I really have to say.
