What's with the 1957? I'm glad you asked. I
acquired a metal box of slides from my Grandmom White in 1990. Upon

The slides were still in incredible shape and some of the shots were astounding. I had a few blown up by a professional, but that was expensive. So I decided to try and get them into the computer. Believe it or not, I used a cheap handheld slide viewer and a Hi8 camcorder with a macro lens taped to it to capture these pictures. (This was before digital cameras.) A little touchup with Photoshop, and here's a little portfolio of what the world was like in the 1950s...
