Anonymous said...: Buckles: Mr Cushman's photos are absolutely wonderful, can't thank him and you enough. I particularly enjoy shots like this which even includes laundry "hanging on the line". Are these photos or slides?? For color and clarity these are remarkable for something that was taken 67 years ago.
I apologize if I missed any prior information, but what is Mr Cushman's backround?

Buckles said...: Mr. Cushman's collection was given to the Univ. of Indiana from which it was accessed by Shannon.
I'm sure the site includes all the details but I dare not piddle with it and quit while I'm ahead since after all these years, I'm still surprised each each morning when the pictures appear on the Blog.
I'll ask Shannon to send you the info.; 27 January, 2008 10:59

To the best of my knowledge he shot a lot of Kodachrome slide film which gives us these beautiful pictures after all these years. I shot some circus pictures and a lot of train pictures using Kodachrome slide film, I just hope they will be as good as these are. Buckles, what is your e-mail address? Thanks to you and Shannon for posting these beauties!; 28 January, 2008 06:07
