Some of those don't even look real! Great photos, thanks for the link.

70 y.o. 4x5 Kodachromes beat even the best digital sensors today for continuous color tone. And a skilled lighting set-up helped, too.
Thanks for sharing.

Great photos of the greatest generation!

There's nothing like the sharpness of a large format camera coupled with the vivid color of Kodachrome film.

Thanks for sharing, these look great!

Wow, what a piece of history that should never be forgotten. I wonder if any of these photos can be purchased?

Classic Americana - love it!

Amazing lighting and focus. If you enjoy high-resolution old photos, check out shorpy.com. The site has tens of thousands of great old pictures. I especially enjoy the Civil War photos.

Great pics

Love those pics! Interesting how nearly every woman pictured had her nails perfectly manicured - even while doing that kind of work!

Thanks for posting.

If you want to see some old, sharp, high resolution pictures, you should visit http://www.shorpy.com/ .

There's enough there to keep you busy for a couple of weeks and it's a trip back in time.

And here I thought life was actually grainy and the world was made of muted colors back then.

Thanks for sharing.
