#22 is 1945. Soldier coming home. Everyone is happy. God I'd love to live long enough to see them all come home alive, for good.

There is always something about that first picture. Like I’m just waiting to see that big smile. I feel almost excited as he does.

I'm curious, why is the picture from 1974 in black and white? Just seems a little late for that

Even though color film was available, it was crazy expensive to develop early on. Many photographers stayed with B&W for years.

5 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Even then there was better resolution available

5 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Because that was the film and/or development technique used.

#9 What is on that kid? What are they doing to her?

A ventilator. It was the technology that came after the iron lung.

5 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

It looked like it did the same low/high pressure function of an iron lung, I was wondering too.

I'm kind of afraid to ask, but did the Marine and his kitten make it home?

5 years ago | Likes 8 Dislikes 0

Apparently both (likely) made it back to the US: https://rarehistoricalphotos.com/marine-kitten-korean-war-1952/

Humans have barely evolved in 10,000 years. The only difference between a modern human and a caveman is how civilization has prepared them.

5 years ago | Likes 9 Dislikes 0

Medium. I used to prefer them medium-well, but now I prepare them medium.

Damn, #11 has some serious feels to it. Were they not allowed to be buried in the same cemetery?

5 years ago | Likes 115 Dislikes 1

Yeah...Europe from the 1500's through the 1800's wasn't exactly known for Catholic/Protestant unity...

5 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

I agree... the hands sculpted to hold each other over the wall was genius and hit me right in the feels

5 years ago | Likes 46 Dislikes 0

Yep. There were, and still are, cemeteries designated for specific religions.

And specific colors, in 2021, apparently.
