    Washington died November 14, 1915 of congestive heart failure, so this series of photos may have been issued by Bain at that time. See also

    Wow, look at the coloring in this photo. Looks alot like the stuff us modern photographers try to duplicate.

    A question for the collective wisdom -- are these migrant farmworkers, sharecroppers, or -?-

    I love those pictures! But the automatic scan process definitively doesn't do them justice... I got no photoshop skills whatsoever, but made a "quick fixed" version of this one anyway. Enjoy! ;)
  • dave nola said:
    i agree i learned photoshop using these pictures its a shame that they treated these pictures this way the auto scan takes from the black boarder and darkens the picture i cant belive some of the oohs and arrrs comments people have made over these slipshod scans

    the clouds in the background are breathtaking. the composition of this is perfect.
  • synonymous crib said:
    I say cut the LOC a break. They are at least putting them up. With mass scannings, I do not expect the best.
  • Murmelantes said:
    Cashaw> I'm not blaming them for anything: every person having to go through a lot of color negatives scanning knows how time consuming it is, and they have a HUGE lot of negatives. That's why I took the liberty to try and do better: I wasn't thinking it could be considered as an attack or whatever...
