Re: Rare Color Photo's from the Great Depression Released

I don't think black and white pictures paint a good picture as color do. If the depression or WW1 and 2 were in color I think I would get a better idea of what is happening. If that makes sense.

I think B&W can convey what's going on quite well especially if the photo has a good balance of light and shadow. It's true what you guys are saying that B&W does lend a bit of a fantasy type feel to what should be arresting images. There are some subjects where the B&W is a lot more emotionally packed for me and those are the pictures of the POW/death camps that he Nazis ran. I think seeing those in color would take away some of the emotional brutality of it for some reason.

Is that Napoleon Dynamite's mom, second from right?

Actually she'd be his grandmother

I don't know color to me helps me relate better.
