Late Depression Color Slide Photos

[JohnTF]

Believe most of these are from out west, some are very good shots, all interesting, link is from the Denver Post, pretty much the name of the game must have been Kodachrome? From Library of Congress.

Kodachrome was the film for pro level shooting.

Thanks for posting - some of the images appear to be faded Ektachromes.

What a great collection of photos. Some look as if they were taken yesterday!

They are all Kodachrome. The first Ektachrome wasn't on the market until well after WWII.

Also, this is old news here. There is a thread that went up some 2 weeks ago:

I guess some missed it. ;-)

I recall when the photo credits in National Geography used to read: "Kodachrome by--" and later "Ektachrome by--"

The look of Kodachrome is amazing. The Shasta dam image is WOW.

Some of the images have already featured on www.shorpy.com in Hi-res . I find Jack Delano's work to be very good.
