stormdogHere are some more pictures. But they're not mine this time. I'm passing on a link from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
jojomojo to some early color pictures from the United States in the '30s. These are the first wave of Kodachrome color film that, as the page notes, cost $5 a roll when minimum wage was 25 cents an hour.
Most pictures of the thirties and forties and even a lot of those beyond are in black and white. I see colors in my mind when I think of the '50s, but it's hard to imagine what things really looked like in the '30s and '40s outside of black and white. These really helped me feel like those people you see pictures of in the Great Depression, or anywhere else, were people just like you and I, trying to get by.
I hope you enjoy seeing these.
