Go West (1925)
each photograph tells an entire story!.........Its so amazing, when you look at these plates, everything is in there, fashion of the times, transport, housing, career choice, and then in the 20`s shot, how folks look back, and seem to mourn the loss of the past.
ReplyDeleteCheyenne already said it. You could write a story based on each photo. They're great.
ReplyDeleteAnd Dake looks like the lead singer of The Killers.
Apologies for not getting over the past week or so. Life's been busy for me.
Cheyenne, photos do the same thing for me; they cry out with stories to be told.
ReplyDeleteDavid, good to have you back; don't let life keep you too busy.
Particularly love that "Original Hopalong Cassidy pic"
ReplyDeleteMy husband's first job offer was in Calgary but the draft board would not let him go. Wonder how different our life would have been.
ReplyDeleteI love these evocative images!
