A Colorful Past

Powerline's John Hinderaker went surfing this morning and found himself immersed in the virtually endless collection of material available on line from the Library of Congress. What he found was a remarkable collection of color photographs taken in the United States between 1939 and 1943. So often, many of the photo images from our past are black and white. They have dimension, but they deprive us of the color perception that makes our life experience so rich. Add color to the past and you add relevance. To Hinderaker, you also hold time in your hand as you narrow the gap between past and present.

His post is entitled, "Why Does The Past Seem So Far Away?" I caution that linking to these photographs may put you in time travel mode.

Here's why.
