Kodachrome: Images made before WWII

[chrism]

Agree - that shot is a standout.
Thanks to the original poster for the link.

That shot was taken by Jack Delano, a Farm Security Administration photographer. His work is really awesome.

Let me direct you all to a site I visit every day that has a lot of his images and plenty of other great ones as well, from the civil war up to the 1960s. http://www.shorpy.com

I'd like to hear that story, being a musician myself...

I got the information from an article I once read in a British Journal of Photography special issueto celebrate the fiftieth aniversary of Kodachrome, twenty odd years ago, and it's always stuck in my mind.

Yup, someone is going to have to dig deeper.

A friend just forwarded this my way:

The Cushman Kodachrome archive dates back to 1938. It's a total joy to look through.

Good morning;

I just tried to bring up the link to the photographs, it came back with the message; "URL not found." I do admit that this was posted six (6) days ago, but I did not realize that things moved that quickly in the computer and internet world.
