• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

RE: Photo-journalism Newspaper sight

I've always had an attachment to the old black and white photos shown in newspapers throughout the 30's into 60's. They captured the moment what transpired locally or nationally. Of course there's still photos (mostly color) in today's papers. However,...the gritty and dramatic charm really comes forth in these archive photos. Hope you enjoy them like I have.

Yeppers...color really takes the impact and detail out of photographs. I have been a huge fan of black and white photography since I was a wee lad and saw my first Ansel Adams print of the Grand Canyon.

Ah yes...
I remember reading the "old" black n' white papers.....And the Sunday treat was a color photo on the front page :mixedsmi:
 
Always loved those glossy big B&W photos, like one would find in an attic, or achieves. Really sharp resolution and detail. You can see fabric textures, surfaces, etc.
