these pictures were originally black and white, but digitally colorized...

thats crazy

^^^^^
yeh I was going to say that. Color pictures were avalible but the equiptment would have run into the thousands of dollars. That would be over 20,000 for the average joes today. I have bought to cameras and I love photography but, I only payed $1500 for my minolta A1. I can't imagine anybody back then buying color cameras. Unless they where Andrew Carnegie or somthing.

yeah, nice pics but the color scematic is slightly off....but im color blind so.....

Wow, these pics are freaky as hell. I love what the technology can do today!

Go back and check out the web site again. It is actually color photos using a process called Autochrome using potato starch. They used 3 colors to achive the finished product and that is why the color looks a little off.

Wow, thats pretty amazing! Great picture quality for being that old!

crazy even more, looking at them again

in my mind i always pictured the late 1800's and early 1900's as black and white

as dumb as i am, it still suprizes me to see U.S. history in color

FAWKING BLOCKED...FIREWALL OWNERSHIP.

Damn gov pc's.

want me to post a few for you?

wow, incredible.
thanks for the link.

no prob, if i find anything interesting, i post it here!

Wow. you go through history classes thinking of WWI as just some "war." You see pictures and the black & white takes the realism of the people out of it. That is REALLY freakin cool!
