Art Siegel Good call, artolog. Here is a 1918 photo of the USS New Mexico (BB-40) in Dry Dock 4 from a similar perspective as one of the ARA Moreno photos in the most recent LOC Bain postings. The photo is from the Brooklyn Navy Yard Development Corporation's (BNYDC) photostream: And here's one of the most recent posted LOC Bain photos of ARA Moreno:

This is a fantastic portrait. I can't believe how sharp it is. And those glasses are awesome.

I've become addicted to trying to bring back the original vibrancy of these images. My first test is here: www.flickr.com/photos/alec_fredericks/2198620547/ By adjusting the color balance, contrast and levels, I think I've found a way to bring back the natural colors and facial details ravaged by time.

These people don't look happy at all compared to some of the photos of the white American field workers.
wesvaz said:
bf5390: they had to work really hard to eat very little and live a hopeless life of work and no progress-staying servants to rich thieves. Now Would you look happy? like the field workers from usa-i think is what you mean when you say "american" ...

I am thinking the white field workers I have seen don't look so happy either... unless they were posed. Working for the rich (with no vested rights in property) is humiliating and dehumanizing.
