LedZeppfan77 Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Personally, I do not think the great depression can happen again. Not in that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jahfin Posted May 14, 2012 Author Share Posted May 14, 2012 Amazing the clarity of the photos. I thought so too. Apparently they all came from slides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zepscoda Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Dude....thanks for that link. The entire era that surounds WWII blows my mind. That pic of the B25 factory is really something. I often wonder what America would be like if it wasnt for that generation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chillumpuffer Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Really good clear pictures. Your title is "The Great Depression". I thought that was 1929? There seems to be food, drink, petrol etc. in these pictures When WW 2 was on in Europe from 1939 - 1945, there was blackouts and real hardship. Food rationing was the hardest part. Food was sold buy weight. Butter,eggs and milk were strictly rationed, as was petrol. Of course the rich could dine out in restaurants which were exempt. Things were so bad you couldn't buy most fruit, apples were limited to 1 a week if you could find them and of course the black market boomed. Rationing officially finished in Britain in 1954 when meat became freely available to buy.Coupled with the constant bombing that must have been seriously depressing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jahfin Posted May 15, 2012 Author Share Posted May 15, 2012 Your title is "The Great Depression". I thought that was 1929? There seems to be food, drink, petrol etc. in these pictures I chose that as the subject line because when you open the link to the Denver Post website, the tab reads "Captured: Great Depression..." Wiki describes the Great Depression thusly: The Great Depression was a severe worldwide economic depression in the decade preceding World War II. The timing of the Great Depression varied across nations, but in most countries it started in about 1929 and lasted until the late 1930s or early 1940s. It was the longest, most widespread, and deepest depression of the 20th century. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenman Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Amazing the clarity of the photos. Not really that supprizing, photography in this era was still either medium or large format rather than the convenience of 35mm. Even today an old style 8x10 inch field camera offers greater sharpness than any digital alternative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking most of the color shots were Kodachrome and I agree about the 8x10 and have been thinking of getting one for quite some time.
