Cool, old photos

Post by 02Cat » October 2nd, 2018, 10:34 am

I don't particularly like jazz music, but the picture in the article below just looks fun. I wish I could have been a fly on the wall that morning just to hear some of the conversations. I really enjoy old photos, particularly with some kind of historical story behind it vs. just an old photo. Does anyone else feel the same, or have a picture that they enjoy??

By the way, A Great Day in Harlem is a subtle sub-plot of the movie The Terminal with Tom Hanks circa 2004 which I just re-watched last week and then discovered this article today.

I've always enjoyed looking at the old pictures from the 30's and 40's that my parents had.. Seeing my folks in their 30's and 40's along with aunts and uncles and cousins in their youth is pretty cool. Of course these are all black and white photos but it doesn't detract from them at all.

Those are pretty cool Mauser. I'll admit I almost couldn't click on the "Medical" link though....just kinda creepy.
