I found an insane photo gallery of the Great Depression in America... in colour.

Probably used Kodachrome.

Very authentic.

Thoughts?

About a quarter of those are from 1942. So, mostly Depression Era. :P

Damned big hay stacks, though.
And cool shot of the Newspaper place. Very cool, seeing bulletins about the US urging Italians to Oust Mussolini.

These are awesome.

I once had linked on my favourites a gallery of Russian colour photos from WWI, but those are gone now. I like photos like these because it makes the time period seem less distant.

From the state fair photo: It sucks that we don't use poster designs like that more often; they're really cool. The hairdos in the next one, on the other hand... :P

Yeah... my dad wants the old hair back from the eighties. I just sit there and say "of all the things the eighties was known for, lets keep those there."

Do you know what? I think the Eighties can keep its fashion. Unfortunately my mother says it's coming back (she knows way more about this sort of thing). On the bright side, she's been saying this for a decade, and things are still okay...

The eighties are back, in bits and pieces. See it in High School.
