You Should Have Seen it in Color!
I found this on Twitter. The article was on www.photoxels.com/the-great-depression-in-color.
Here is what it said about how these pictures came to be and whao the photographers were.
"As the country started to recover (yes, the economy goes in a cycle), the Farm Security Administration/Office of War Information sent about 12 photographers (including John Vachon, Jack Delano, Russell Lee, Marion Post Wolcott, John Collier and Arthur Rothstein) to document “Bound for Glory: America in Color.” The photographers were starting to experiment with color film in 1939 and shot on Eastman Kodak Co.’s Kodachrome film, first introduced in 1935.
The original goal of the government project was to record, through documentary photographs, the ravages of the Depression in America’s rural areas and was intended to spur Congress and the American public to support government relief efforts. With an improved economy, increased industrialization and the onset of World War II, the photographs increasingly focused on an America that was productive, beautiful and determined."
These are very cool! I always thought what did it really "look" like? Always the pictures in black and white or sepia. Here one can "see it in color" as the song says. The new Kodak Kodachrome film!!!
They are beautiful!

My World Tuesday
Yesterday was a weird day. It was colder than normal with an overcast morning that turned into a sunny afternoon. Suddenly the wind started to pick up, I mean really blowing! So I went out to shoot because the valley looked kinda coo,l but then I realized it was a CRAZY dust storm coming straight at me.
So here's my world then....

All About Chaah!
I spent some time in a local coffee shop the other day called, The Coffee Block .
I ordered an Earl Grey tea and settled down in a chair. Yummy huh?
Well...yes but....as I got to talking to Sam, he offered to make up the shops specialty, Chaah. It is the same as Chai but the word is Punjab rather than Hindi. This recipe comes from northern India where the plant is grown. He showed me how it is made and why it is SO good. He makes it on the stove, no mixes, no additives, just the real thing. It is the difference that makes the Coffee Block's Chaah so good!
