The colors are very interesting in these photos.
The colors are very interesting in these photos. A lot of shades of brown in this photo that we don't see much anymore.

humm, Strikes me as a Black and White dressed set for TV or movie. Everything is too clean also.
ReplyDeleteNow see; Tony Kruse no information leads to jumping to conclusions. If you had said Lincoln Nebraska I would have believed it. Also If you had shown us this:
ReplyDeleteJohn F. Vachon (May 19, 1914 – April 20, 1975) was an American photographer. He worked as a filing clerk for the Farm Security Administration before Roy Stryker recruited him to join a small group of photographers, including Esther Bubley, Marjory Collins, Mary Post Wolcott, Jack Delano, Arthur Rothstein, Walker Evans, Russell Lee, Gordon Parks, Charlotte Brooks, Carl Mydans, Dorothea Lange and Ben Shahn, who were employed to publicize the conditions of the rural poor in America. From Wikipedia.
These photos are in the Library of Congress.
I love looking at these under any circumstance!
ReplyDeleteAnn Kennedy Yep, it is cool. But information is necessary to help the world run smoothly.
ReplyDeleteMargaret Siemers I was not aware that it was Lincoln, Nebraska or of the photographer until you commented. I subscribe to this website via RSS and go through many pages on a regular basis, but I don't necessarily look for specifics. Just though it was an interesting series of vintage photos in color.
ReplyDeleteTony Kruse I understand completely. But even telling us that you don't know what it is but you like it, is more help than you may know. Not picking on you, I give grief to everyone that posts pictures and does not comment as to what it is.
ReplyDeleteI'm interested in this conversation but need help understanding what is meant by "clean" with regards to an old photo. I'm looking at a family photo, 1942, and it looks normal to me, but after reading these comments, I think someone would question its authenticity. Thanks for any help understanding this issue. My naive perception allows me to enjoy lots of stuff that's probably not authentic:-)
ReplyDeleteMargaret Siemers Maybe your expecting too much.
ReplyDeleteAnn Kennedy "Clean" in this definition simply means "not dirty".
ReplyDeleteTony Kruse Why is it expecting too much to hope folks can understand a little information with your posting is beneficial and more interesting.
ReplyDeleteMargaret Siemers Why would someone need duplicate the information when you can click (on the link supplied) and go to the website to obtain the information? What is the minimum information that you require?
ReplyDeleteDo I also need to inform you that some of the pictures are from Texas, some are from Ohio and some are from Oklahoma?
OK Tony Kruse, If I am wrong about something, I am the first one to admit it. I do owe you an apology. For what ever the reason, when I saw this post the first time what you wrote at the top was not shown. All that came through on my screen was the link at the bottom. You are also what Google calls a "Blue Head" No Avatar, and no information on your page about who you are. Blue heads are notorious for actually being bots that run and slam information into communities, sometimes for nefarious reasons. It is because of this that many communities will not let the blue heads join. I however feel it is worth taking a chance on the people that may not know the in's and out's of Google and G+.
ReplyDeleteYou are answering questions, so you have to be a person. (That, or your own algorithms are far superior to Google's and they are going to want to hire you.)
I would not have said anything had I seen the wording at the top. So...as I said, I am the first one to apologize when I am wrong. You did post some information with this posting and I am, humbly asking your forgiveness.
