I love it when I see old photographs in color. It brings them to life in ways not possible through a black and white print.
The Denver Post is featuring a collection of color photographs from 1939-1943. I first came across this collection in 2007, but I found myself as riveted to the screen today as I was several years ago.
I think we have a need to connect to generations of the past, and color photographs of those times allow us to do that in ways we haven’t had before.
