I love these old pics, look at some of the sky shots in these old pics. Simply amazing.

Cool pics. Good thing they were taken just after the world turned color.

Great shots. I have seen a lot of monochrome photos from this era. The Farm Service Administration did much to advance American photographers. Farm Security Administration - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dorothea Lange is one of the best.



I also liked the work of Walker Evans.




The colour photos are a nice addition to those.

BTW - your tax dollars at work. We (Canadians had nothing like it.)

Thanks a million Jack, and you're right as usual. These are the kinds of things that the John Birchers do not get.

I just stumbled upon those pics one day, and they really spoke to me in a way I find hard to verbalize.
