Wow, thanks for the tip! It feels like finding a perfectly preserved time capsule of life. I know this sounds petty, but as dramatic as black and white photos are (and as much as I love black and white as an amateur photographer), the monochrome does sometimes distance me from the visceral humanity behind the image. It's somehow easier to emotionally disconnect from the implication of whatever is in the photo, especially when it happened "long ago". Color film, if only becuase of it's rarity on the subject, is like this bright sharp wake up call that these were real people living entire real lives on either side of these frozen moments.
