My Friday (FF) post tells about how I just discovered that term.

I was thinking that at some point the things from my own childhood could become museum artifacts, and how generations from now people would look back on archived pictures and everyday objects and I wondered what kind of guesses they would make about us, as a people.<br /><br />And the millions and millions of pictures that exist with the current technology can certainly complicate the interpretation process - I only hope more survive than just the duckface awkward facebook profile pictures!Bill Lislemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15187273560129198423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29376160.post-5002065909883752612013-01-24T10:47:32.013-06:002013-01-24T10:47:32.013-06:00Looking downward is a common problem among men. t...Looking downward is a common problem among men. thanks.Bill Lislemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15187273560129198423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29376160.post-83340704036144577642013-01-24T10:46:05.933-06:002013-01-24T10:46:05.933-06:00thanks for coming back.

I don't get into celebrity watching in our modern age but I love the old pictures. <br /><br />Gosh, I can see why the four funny men aren't smiling. They realized they aren't in their 30's anymore.

I came back. ;) The picture of the comedians is really interesting -- it definitely tells a story, but I wonder what that story is.<br /><br /><br />Lots of people are interested in photos of the past, whether it's of family or strangers. There's the clothing, the setting -- I always love to see "old" Chicago, for example.Bill Lislemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15187273560129198423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29376160.post-14998850889807574212013-01-24T06:17:08.372-06:002013-01-24T06:17:08.372-06:00Absolutely...they way we look at black and white, ...Absolutely...they way we look at black and white, the future 3D photographers will look at our measly 2 dimensional photographsBill Lislemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15187273560129198423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29376160.post-25793455296917878882013-01-24T00:27:43.325-06:002013-01-24T00:27:43.325-06:00That looks to be a really great site - oh no, like...That looks to be a really great site - oh no, like your wife I think I could spend some hours there too. <br /><br /><br /><br />Strangely when I was a teenager I was besotted with Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall. Not even sure why now. I also had an obsession with James Dean too. <br /><br /><br /><br />I guess most women got used to their partners paying Marilyn such attention. did you ever see the film A Week with Marilyn - very interesting indeed. Movie stars were more mysterious in those days weren't they? Unlike today when you know absolutely everything about them. <br /><br /><br /><br />I will have to catch up with what you have been up to in the last month or so here - I hope 2013 is a great one for you, your wife, children and grandchildren.Bill Lislemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15187273560129198423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29376160.post-90117220619339866082013-01-23T22:38:12.538-06:002013-01-23T22:38:12.538-06:00Good question.
