Q&A: Is there a way to keep athletic dogs safer?
Question by Baa_Baa_Blacksheep: Is there a way to keep athletic dogs safer? I was just sitting around comparing two common athletic pets (horses and dogs) and was kinda wondering if there were more steps to keep dogs safe. I know there are booties for sled dogs but is that it? I hear dogs get injured […]

This is a color photo. Take a close look at the jackets of the kids on the porch.
P.S., I’m not from Brockton, so this was a matter of triangulating other photos by Jack Delano in Brockton that I knew the placement of, and then "walking" up and down the streets in Google Street View until I found something that potentially matched. Which is why I’m not sure of the placement…
I *think* I’ve placed this correctly (on Walnut street) on WhatWasThere — let me know what you think: whatwasthere.com/b/13662 (slide the Green Fade Bar).
grreat work!
I don’t this building was painted gray. I think it was white that faded to this shade.
haunting,
used this photo for my project where I let people disappear:

erycstar: I know what you mean about the hazards of colorizing. But in this case, the image is from a color slide taken in the early years of Kodachrome. Here’s some more info on this rare set of color photos, lcweb2.loc.gov/pp/fsowsc.html
Very nice image of the time period!
Black and white photos are meant to stay in black and white! just saying,
like a painting!
Amazing
Wow! Looks like a Norman Rockwell painting!

Title: Children of a Leaser Dog
the house I would like to tag as an Italianate, but not quite sure.
I always imagined these houses in color, when I see them in old photos..
but man they were painted gray! how depressing. I guess they didn’t need color photography before the 50’s everything was grey or black and white
