Those pics are AMAZING, Bill. I can look at them all day....if I had
the time. I love the shot of The Old Met. It's astounding to see the
men who built the Empire State Building. Man, they had guts! Every
pic is priceless.

Couple of nice sets there, for sure. Pretty much made by purposeful
photographers. I got a few off eBay that were apparently by a 1907
snapshooter who pasted them in a family album:

Brighton Beach, Coney Island, a view or two of NYC.

I practically can't stop looking at this kind of photo.

I'm not that old but it made me remember a ticker tape pararde in
Chicago when I was a toddler, probably the astronauts returned from the
moon.

Here's a trolley in San Francisco a few years ago with cane seats:

It's a pity we don't build things like that any more.

Too bad the Amish don't go in for photography, they'd
be sure to keep film alive.
