A mother to shoot but when you hit it you nailed it. Fujichrome 100 came along and lazy bastards like me embraced it for it's forgiving nature. A shame. Great post...old man.

The pictures just reminded me of how I cringe when people of my parents' generation talk about 'simpler times.' Simpler times called for simpler people, I suppose.

The one of the guy with the drinkie on the trolley is clearly from San Francisco. How do I know? Because the trolley could only be a Cable Car, and the drinkie is clearly an Irish coffee. Irish coffee was invented (er...maybe re-invented outside of Ireland?) at the Buena Vista Cafe at Hyde and Beach Streets. A Cable Car turn-around just *happens* to be right across the street from the bar. A little west coast fun fact for today... http://www.thebuenavista.com/index2.html All are beautiful – reminiscent of the Kodak Colorama pictures from Grand Central Station…
