About the Photos

Most of the photos on this site were extracted from reference images (high-resolution tiffs, 20 to 200 megabytes in size) from the Library of Congress research archive. (To query the database click here.) Many were digitized by LOC contractors using a Sinar studio back. They are adjusted by your webmaster for contrast and color in Photoshop before being downsized and turned into the jpegs you see here.

Kodachrome never ceases to

Kodachrome never ceases to amaze me. This photo could have been taken last year (except for the fashions in the background.)

 

FUN!

I wish people still dressed up to go to the amusement park.

(Now it's all flip-flops and skin and ragged shorts and tattoos...and I'm including my own wayward child in that generalization, too!)
