Neat old pictures

When I was a little kid, I remember asking my Dad when they started seein' in color. (I was serious.) He got a big kick outa that. I hadn't seen any color pics from the "old days" up until that time.
 
Does anyone know when they started making and using Kodachrome film? I started taking slide pictures in 1954 or 1955. It was
asa 10 film then, later we used asa 64.
 
Neat pics BMR! Funny, I knew what the 22 picture, Mill at the Camp Bird Mine, photo was, before I even saw the entire picture or caption! I'd know those mountain sides from anywhere I think!

Thanks BMR for that post. I'm amazed at how "excellent" those portraits are; the lighting, the focus, the depth of field, the composition, the poses, the expressions! No flashes, reflectors or artificial light of any kind! Perfect!
TTB, is that photographer related to you?

:oops: :oops: :oops: Frank you are quite observant and I am a little embarrassed...I had to go back and look at the photo to see what you were talking about. No, I don't believe the photographer is related to me...but I guess one never knows!

Picture 21 is especially intriguing to me. I wonder what those big leaved plants are they have in their garden? Pie Town is definitely in the arid, higher mountain area of New Mexico. In my mind, that plant does not fit into the xeroscape model for western New Mexico.

And, speaking of which I think (think is the key here!) Pie Town is probably in the general area where ranchers.net member "Ranchy" was from. Has anyone heard from her?

I looked at the set from prerevolution Russia-to me it looked as progressive as any other country was at the turn of the century-love those old pictures from anywhere.
 
Was interesting to see no overweight people in these pictures. The kids all look down right skinny almost malnourished by todays standards. Sure a difference when folks had to work for a living and cooked their own food.

You are sure right, BH. When I was a kid about that time, an overweight person was quite a rarity. Just go to a smorgasbord in any city now and the pork is on display.
 
How neat and tidy everyone used to look- even when they were fishing. That was when we were taught not to appear in public with shirt hanging out, run-down heels, or wearing torn or wrinkled clothes. Little girls in homemade dresses rather than sloppy t-shirts. Mankind has slipped!

Thanks so much for posting these, Big Muddy.
