I’d forgotten how steep and narrow the old bridge was in Charleston. The first time I went over it, it was at night and in the rain. Definitely was not a fun time.

NYC, 1939. Margaret Bourke-White captured this stunning view of the only Douglas DC-4E ever produced. The aircraft’s unusual tail had three vertical stabilizers. Bourke-White shot the photo from a small plane. Her apartment was in the Chrysler Building, shown immediately left of the airplane. Her 1936 photo of Fort Peck Dam in Northeast Montana graced the cover of the inaugural issue of Life Magazine. Bourke-White would later become the first American female photojournalist to work in combat zones during World War II.

Speed limits displayed on a board near Waco, TX in 1939




Colorado 1890"s...
A woman stands near her one-room house at the coal camp of Rugby (Las Animas County), Colorado. The woman wears a blouse with a ruffle and a skirt. A tin, jar, and sugar bowl sit on a shelf near a window. A barrel sits outside the door and a coal shovel leans against the wall. A chimney pipe extends from the roof of the structure.

The early days of the internet.




Electric Contact mines
Workers from the Women’s Royal Naval Service checking the air pressure in Electric Contact (EC) mines, at Lowestoft, 1918. The mines laid out behind them are being connected to form mine nets, which were used along the French and Belgian coast to counter coastal U-boats. Imperial War Museum.

On March 8, 1979, Philips unveiled the optical digital audio disc, otherwise known as a compact disc.








A photo from my nephew. He just kayaked down the Colorado river through the grand canyon.
