So she's in more than a couple of his films?
Astonishingly enough for an English major, she actually became a teacher instead of ending up in porno. |

I tried. The only colors that stuck were Purple Pizzazz and Radical Red.

 Quick and dirty. I could spend an hour redrawing the hair and the suit, but it's not happening. Also fucked up on some glass coloring. Whatever. |

It does look like they brought it to the English-speaking boss who said "God ... Jesus ... NO!". And they did as they thought they were being told.
P.S. Schild, nice work.

Those are _awesome_. Especially when you're listening to Kodachrome.

Damn, beat me to it. I was going to post that  Awesome pictures from everybody though. Really amazing to view such old times in color. |

I really, really, really wanted that as a desktop. I feel that it would lose something in the transition to 1280x1024 Also I've got a strong feeling I got that from a post here a couple of years ago, some things stick in the memory weirdly. |

So awesome pics, thanks a lot for that. It was only a few months ago after seeing a color pic from 1920s i think it struck me reality has always been as it is today, even two thousand years or fity thousand years ago.. When we read from books it all seems artificial, but thinking about it deeply it was as real, vibrant and alive as it is today. Of course I always KNEW it, just didn't think about it that way.

Well the while we're at that: World War I in Colour and a documentary about WWII in colour and A British versionYou're right there's something slightly jarring realising that history has always looked the way it does now, I wonder sometimes if that's just the effect of seeing technology progress in its ability to capture images of the past or if we always had that kind of attitude, that somehow 100 years ago everything was different. Not in any specific way just somehow different from now. |

Those color 30s photos are amazing. The closest I'd seen is technicolor, which doesn't do justice to the real thing. Amazing.

That is simply amazing. We have lost much since the '30s.

No Nerf, but I put a link to this very thread and I said that you all can guarantee for my purity. I even mentioned your case, and see if they can take a look at your lawn from a Michigan perspective.

We need more reminders of those times, lest we relive them today. We're not that different from people 100 years ago. |

Those are all fantastic. I absolutely love kodachrome, amazing film. Shame that the scanning and conversion to jpeg has been done so badly, there's a LOT of jpeg artifacts on them :( I really, really, really wanted that as a desktop. I feel that it would lose something in the transition to 1280x1024
I just tried a careful stepwise resampling of that up to 1280x but there's so much compression noise that it either looks like shit or I lose all the detail in trying to clean it up. Real shame since a good scan of the original slide would look awesome. |

My solution (and current desktop :p)  I do this quite often, as I find quite a few pictures that don't scale up well. |

They have made some ridiculous cakes on that show. They made one of a guitar that was pretty amazing as well.  Wrigley Field was cool too! |
