These Depression era photos in color are amazing; the subjects are interesting, but the perceptual aspect is more so. I think perhaps we're used to thinking of the denizens of the 30s in black and white. These color versions -- surely they're publicity stills from Seabiscuit or Road to Perdition? It seems artificial, even though it's definitionally authentic.

We don't live in the world we live in. It's an imaginary construct, and it's surprising to see it as it really is.
