Via Mike Johnston's blog, and as if timed to illustrate this board's "Greyscale vs Color" thread, The Photographers' Gallery in London just opened an exhibit of recently rediscovered color images from the US Farm Security Administration/Office of War Information, taken between 1939 and 1943. The Guardian has a slide show and a report that wonders how our perceptions pf the era were influenced by the black and white nature of the record. http://arts.guardian.co.uk/features/story/0,,1959587,00.html Or browse the collection at the Library of Congress: http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/fsachtml/fsowhome.html -- Bob L
