    Holy sh*t!
    It looks like I had some distant relatives in NM judging by the name of that last family! That was a shocker to see.
    Cool pics to.
    mostly Nikon gear

    Feel free to edit my images for critique, just let me know what you did.

    Re: Color photos from the '40s

    Great find!! Thanks for sharing. I wonder how long each "photo" took to capture and print and what type of paper was it printed on. Far cry from todays world with digital DSLRs and home printers capable of presenting results in a very vivid fashion.

    Cheers,
