full color history
14 12 2005I just found an awesome collection of Depression-era photographs that are in full color. It’s very strange seeing things in color that, to this point, I’ve only seen in black and white. I put a couple samples below, and you can find the entire gallery here. Incredibly interesting if you ask me.
I know what you mean—it makes the pictures seem more real when they’re in color like that. The History Channel has that “WWI in Color” or “WWII in Color” series, which is really weird—to not only see the stuff in color, but to see them moving and talking, definitely paints a different picture than what you see in history books.
