Today was half-off day at the local Goodwill thrift stores, so I made my
usual biweekly pilgrimage. I came away from one store with a slightly damaged
copy of "The American Annual of Photography 1935" for just $0.99. Quite a lot
of interesting articles about photography during the Great Depression and lots
of photos to glean over. Also lots of ads. One very interesting article about
microphotography showed a photo of a bellows almost two feet long.
Seems there was a great deal of popularity in using a fog type filter for
landscapes, cityscapes, portraits, and nudes during that time. Renders an
interesting effect in B&W that looks much like the impressionistic art of
Renoir and Monet.
Best part is that there is no mention of Photoshop. :{b
