Fantastic. These kinds of old black and white pictures are what got me interested in being a photographer. Funny thing is, that kind of framing etc is considered out of date and "unmodern" now. But I love the classic style.

Yes I love photos like these. Gives me insight on what the world really looked like back then, instead of watching movies made about what they think things looked like back then...how people dressed, what the buildings looked like.., etc.


I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince.

Isn't it amazing? btw; Shorpy does not allow linking, so unless one copy/pastes your link, they cannot see it.

And funny you found the pic that led me to that site....
