and then sally stein, who's a photo historian, began doing a project about color film. she came to the library, wanted to see these color transparencies. i was one of the people who helped serve her. at the time, the library did not have a way of making duplicates that was affordable for researchers. so, she brought a photographer with her to help make copies on a set up in our division. and i became intrigued. began looking at them more and more. but initially i thought, these are interloper pictures. they don't really belong. it took a while for me to realize they did the long, that there are pictures made of a same outing, that photographers would carry a 35mm camera, they would carry a roloflex, and they would carry cameras loaded with color film, not just black and white. that they would use these interchangeably. in some instances there are black and white pictures that are new duplicates of the color pictures you find online now in that 1930's and 1940's set. one of my favorite topics is stores. these were bright places that would attract attention. before so man
