America in Color: 1939 to 1943

Click here to view some amazing color photos taken in years between 1939 and 1943 across the USA. Black and white photos can make things appear so dated, but color makes things look 'now.'

The grain of these slides is very fine so I assume this might be Kodachrome film, but I'm no expert. Digital photography has lead to the death of Kodachrome. The last developing lab in the country will stop developing at the end of this year. Also the last professional photographer to shoot the last roll of Kodachrome will have his work published in the National Geographic.
