    Windy day at the races, so ladies need to keep their fashionable hats in place.

    the host must have been a dancing fool......

    An orchestra of two. How minimalist.

    Looks like it is quite literally "wall paper."

    Title: The accused Is this a joyful occasion? Seems pretty tense to me!

    The 'host' might also be the 'caller' the one who cued the dancers to the next steps [swing your partner, do-si-do, allamende left, grand right and left, etc.]

Orchestra at square dance in McIntosh County, Oklahoma (LOC)

    All you need - a fiddle and guitar. In NH, a small, 3-4 piece band which played for square dances might be called an orchestra.

    I thought I would try to bring back some of the colour. This one is faded, and has shifted to purple, and I have a feeling that the film stock used was not great, or in some way unstable, but I've done what I can. As to film stock, for some reason, this data is not included in LOC's records for any of its colour images from this period, which is too bad, because it can be crucial to restoration efforts. www.flickr.com/photos/theonemacduff/5547531094/in/album-7...

    Duffy'sTavern, most of the FSA/OWI slides are Kodachrome. They are stored off-site in cold storage so it's not easy to quickly check each one.

    Jon (LOC P&P) Yup, I figured that was the case, based on work I've done on others, but it's nice to have confirmation. But this one was so badly faded, shifted so much towards purple, that my thought was that somehow the flash being used was not a good balance for Kodachrome, that the faux colour was baked into the slide from the moment the shutter was tripped. Unfortunately, I don't know enough about early flash bulbs or the 1930s chemistry of Kodachrome to figure it out. BTW, while the slides were scanned at 3600dpi, by the time you crop away the slide mount area, you're down to 3000-3100dpi, and personally, I would say that a 35mm slide shot through good glass – as these were – should be scanned at a minimum of 4800dpi. This is about enough so that you can begin to make out grain in the image. The larger file size also allows you greater freedom to sharpen, if you want to, and gives smoother colour transitions, and better shadow detail. Jest sayin'.
