Thanks. I enjoy early pictures of major cities.

Love those big-format camera images. As cool as 35mm and digital cameras are, they just can't compete with a Speed Graphic in the hands of someone who knew how to use one.
All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
My uncle used to shoot weddings in his spare time. He had a 4x5 crown graphic and a 2 1/4 x 31/4 bush pressman. His flash units had about 6 d-cells in them and were huge.Originally Posted by KJ6BSO
Absolutely stunning, George.
Dig it, totally.
And, you're right, Carl. (Jeeebus, you understand Speed Graphics, too?)
I had a minor in photography in college, never got a degree, though. Did a bit of large format work with a view camera; that's not to say I could make a Speed Graphic work or anything, but I know about them.

Tried to go to the actual archive and it seems to be down due to traffic.
That was cool George.

Please don't confuse my personality with my attitude. My personality is obviously me, But my attitude depends largely upon you.
Interesting thing is that most of the buildings shown in those pictures still exist and still look pretty much the same.
I keep my 2 feet on the ground, and my head in the twilight zone.
A lot of them do, but in some of the disneyfied places not so much. Even in the last 10-12 years that I've been here so much has changed. Even some of my favorite watering holes are now in the ash bin of history, steamrolled by development.
Speaking of which, you know Mars bar was shut down a couple years ago, right?
