This Photo Haunts Me
This is one of the many extraordinary photos to be found at Shorpy: The 100-Year-Old Photo Blog. If you're into photography or history (or both) you have to check out this site. The above photo (higher res here) has absolutely haunted me the past couple of weeks. I just can't stop thinking about it. It looks like it could have been taken yesterday. Having young daughters, I also can't help but think about that little girl. She must be about seven in that picture. That would make her 72 today. And those posters in the window look so amazingly modern. This one image speaks volumes to me about the passing of time. Some of my other favorites are here, here, and here. Best of all, more photos are added each day. Check it out.
