Color pictures until the 70โ€™s were the work of professionals. This photo has the feel of a 70โ€™s era Kodak. I think itโ€™s a typo in the caption.

++++++++++++

My dad was a big camera guy, we have a lot of color photos, even one from when I was a baby in 1956 lol, that he took himself.

I have a photo of my parents right after they were married in 1950 that is color as well.

The woman, Mrs Scherff is a dead ringer for my mil. She’s gone now, but I would say that hairstyle is 1940’s. Hard to say.

I don’t know how the times lines of these people, but it doesn’t scream 1920’s fo sho.

My dad didn’t even have a great camera, but it was 35mm, so all of my baby (1954) and growing up pictures were in color. Plus the ones of my mom and him during their courtship and before I was born, as well as a lot of old photos of my uncles and aunts and our grandparents, so my dad wasn’t alone. My brother was diligent enough to scan them all and make me copies. Quite a few of them are out of focus. lol

So I don’t know where numberonepal got the idea that color pictures until the 70โ€™s were the work of professionals. Simply not so. He must be very young. ๐Ÿ˜‚
