I agree with Barney --> old photos are very interesting. When you look at a vintage photo, your imagination takes off trying to figure out what was going on at the time the photo was taken. Also, B/W photos of yesteryear are much more dramatic and artistic than color photos of today. Mr. Henderson, I read that you are from the DC area (as am I. check out the blog http://miltizme.blogspot.com). I recently came across a great website that invites visitors from DC to leave their memories. Currently, there are 19 pages! I am too young to remember most of what has been posted, but it's exciting to read about what DC used to be like. http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Flats/4759/ milton. Greetings!

There's something about photography - the capture and freezing of a moment of light - combined with history that has a very special effect. In Britain there is a wonderful series of books of old photos of different cities and towns. I have a number of them and can spend hours looking at them. "The past is a foreign country. They do things differently there." (L P Hartley, "The Go-Between") By the way, I like your new WordPress theme.
