   Glad everyone enjoyed.  I like the people at work category, because it's interesting to see the people and their clothing in color.  It looks like straight out of a movie.

   Wow, that's really neat. I like this one http://www.loc.gov/exhibits/empire/images/p87-7001.jpg
   
   Besides the man's clothing, it looks like it could have been taken yesterday but it's 100 years old!
   
   If you're in San Francisco, check out the historical photos at Fraenkel Galley. The exhibition of Carleton Watkins, who's photos convinced congress to establish Yosemite as a National Park, really inspired me too: http://www.fraenkelgallery.com/exhibiti … _4144.html
