A picture tells a 1,000 colors...

I know I told a few people about these pictures. LPG and I first saw them on the news a few days back. The amazing thing is that these are actual color images, not reproductions, or turnerized images. IT was hard to pic a picture, as they are all wonderful...I choose the one below for it's color, and the one above for it's strange innocence (and depth of field).

Here is a blurb...

Bound for Glory: America in Color is the first major exhibition of the little known color images taken by photographers of the Farm Security Administration/Office of War Information (FSA/OWI). Comprised of seventy digital prints made from color transparencies taken between 1939 and 1943, this exhibition reveals a surprisingly vibrant world that has typically been viewed only through black-and-white images. These vivid scenes and portraits capture the effects of the Depression on America's rural and small town populations, the nation's subsequent economic recovery and industrial growth, and the country's great mobilization for World War II.
