It is so incredibly rare to see color photos from that time period, that I seriously felt NO connection to the people or the era. But seeing things in color, it almost seems unreal. Like I could suddenly understand my mother and my father in a way I've never felt before.

People back then didn't seem..."real". They were always ghosts in the pictures.

To see people eating, sleeping, working...in living color...

It's a shock to the system. Truly.

And a good one, too.
