WWI in Color
« on: November 12, 2008, 08:54:01 PM »
This was interesting:

Like the WWII in color stuff, having color just gives it a totally different tone af reality IMHO.

Some of those photos just looked too clean.

Photos 9, 12, 15, 16 looked the most genuine to me.

There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

They worked for National Geographic after the War.   They aren't clean, it's just like music.   Some take care of their material.   I guarantee you Hildenbrand and Gervais-Courtellemont "took great care of their" material.

As did Frank Hurley on the Shackleton Expedition.   

Those are ALL genuine.

Good set of pics. 

A terrible war whose effects are still felt today.  Though overshadowed by WWII, it should never be forgotten or its world changing nature be underestimated.
