Peole were so much skinnier then! and so many kids went barefoot as a matter of course. Tones are rich, golden, nostalgic.
And the looks on people’s faces as they stared into the camera were different. Sober, dignified, questioning,rarely smiling.
Now it seems people vamp in front of the cameera or the videotape lens. They try to look attractive or appealing. The people’s faces in these photos seem to say,
‘I am who I am. who are you?’
