The 40′s and 50′s have always been a nostalgic era to me and whenever I see movies or photos like the ones above from that time period I get really intrigued about what it would of been like to of grown up back then. Whenever I think about this era, the images in my head always have the vintage, grainy and saturated feel that these photos most likely naturally produced. What’s amazing is that photography back then wasn’t doctored in Photoshop or any other programs—obviously because they didn’t exist. Now a days, many photographers (including myself sometimes) try to achieve the look and feel of what you see above. These photos are from the beautiful and inspiring Flickr set Pre–1962 America in Color.
