    Roaring-Sounds amazing and I'd love to see it,but weirdly-nothing shows up in your post for me but Sabre stating 'That is amazing....' then it just cuts off.
    Did you pull it or... ?

    Sorry Roar-I thought you'd posted jpg's of an archive you'd personally discovered.
    I went to the Smithsonian Website and found the YouTube vid and slideshow-amazing (now I gotta look for me in those images !).
    Someone posited the photographer & film maker Agnes Varda could have taken the photos.
    What a treasure & thanks for posting it !
    PS-Supposed image of the mystery artist-

    What an eye for color and composition. Impressive. I spent a lot of $$$’s developing film back in the day and probably got about 2 pics per roll of film I like :(. Lost all but a scarce few in a fire back in 1991. *grunts*

    The link was viewable for me. I was in diapers when some of those were taken, so..not guilty.(LOL) Even if I was that good(hah!). Whoever took those was a master photographer, male or female.

    Wow. Thanks for posting this. As a lifetime amateur photographer, (the person that always had the camera), this is exciting!
