Farm Security Administration/Office of War Information Color Photographs

quote [ Photographers working for the U.S. government's Farm Security Administration (FSA) and later the Office of War Information (OWI) between 1939 and 1944 made approximately 1,600 color photographs that depict life in the United States ]

In light of recent reminiscing of old SE, a JOECAM-style old photo post. Anybody love this stuff?

Have you read the terms of service for that and, for that matter, any sharing service?

Why yes, they could.

These are great. I mean, for 1940s. I love the use of flash when present, in part because of how much people bitch about their pocket size strobes that are powerful enough to provide foreground light to an otherwise featureless silhouette into the sun.

FWIW, I take bad photos in my spare time:

shitty blog, shitty twitter

edit: on my phone the post button blocks the input box which is a bitch when writing out links to convert to html.
