I just read an article about one of the photographers not too long ago, Jack Delano. He was one of the first to use Kodachrome in dark places like roundhouses and back shops. He loved trains and heavy industry, as well as this country.

An 1864 view of the Southern Railway bridge over the Rapidan River.

Snippy hit that baby at 55 mph many times (after it got fixed).

Around when did men stop wearing suits with hats and start dressing more casual (t-shirt & jeans)?

When they started taking showers every day.

Or, in the late'60's post-Beatles.

Judging by some of those pics I believe you. Some of those people were filthy.
