The businessman and secretary in the pool: apart from being a ''troubling sight'' (to me anyway 🤢), I wonder what the swimming cap was for...🤔The lady with the ''brilliant'' ice facial mask seems to have half her teeth rotten, by the way 😒The astronaut floating untethered (in the cosmos...): it seems so surreal that the photos of ''bridge and skyscraper workers lunching and taking naps (and working of course) about 5 miles in the air with no safety harness'' are still the top photos to give me that (unbearable) sinking feeling... Little girl holding the knife to be (or just been) sharpened: as weird as it is cute and, by the same occasion, reminds me that, to me, little children's clothing were so much more appropriate, cute and beautiful back then (up to the 60's I'd say). Although it was a second posting for a (big) part of these photos, good job! And nice piano music as always 🙂
Thank you so much for the detailed feedback. I think one day I’m going to sit down and binge watch my own videos as you make them sound even more interesting ! Regulars viewers, such as yourself, are the reason I enjoy working on this channel so much.
@@AmazingHistoricalPhotos You cracked me up (with your ''binge watching your own videos''...). Thanks for making me laugh (as I rarely have the ''opportunity'' to laugh...).
Brilliant as always, Mark. I saw on one of your collections a colourised photo of a very young WW1 French soldier. I think the text said he was about to go "over the top". I found it incredibly moving and I'd love it if you could use it again. I cannot find it. Thank you. 😊
they were indeed, and so was I. I remember them clearly, and the best part was being able to see what other people's photos looked like as they were being processed. That could get embarassing, people forgot that these things were on view for everyone to see...=)
"American PoW's Stand for Roll Call" Hanoi North Korea (1973)? I think not. That would be North Vietnam (officially the Democratic Republic of Vietnam).
Yuri Gagarin trivia: he was the first man in space because, at just over five feet tall, he was one of only two cosmonaut trainees who could fit in the tiny first version of the Soyuz capsule. The similarly stubby Gherman Titov had more seniority but the authorities wanted the first one to have a more conventionally Russian-sounding name.
I was working as an estate appraiser in San Diego back in the mid-'90s and was going through the possessions of a woman who had just passed away, and she had a "True Crime" magazine about the Tate-LaBianca murders from Sept, 1969...a month BEFORE the Manson family was arrested. The magazine was speculating about who might have killed them. It was really eerie looking at that magazine, like you said, knowing what happened.

I think I know the one you are referring too and will look for that again this week and post it in the community tab. He has a haunting stare 🥺
@@AmazingHistoricalPhotos That definitely sounds like it. I'm really trying to source a print. Thank you so much.
Those Fotomat boothes were still around in the 80s! Lol
I have pictures 😂😂😂

@@judythompson8227 I forgot about that. You're right! The first version of Facebook! 🤣
there's a typo at 10.04.should be noth veitnam not north kores
Actually, it should be North Vietnam.
"American PoW's Stand for Roll Call" Hanoi North Korea (1973)? I think not. That would be North Vietnam (officially the Democratic Republic of Vietnam).
True. How could you screw that up?
9:59 I thought Hanoi was in North Vietnam in 1973. Did you relocate it?
Yes … yes I did

Died at just 34 in a mig crash … Achieved so much so young.
The POWs in Hanoi are in North Vietnam, not North Korea.
That picture of Sharon Tate is heartbreaking knowing what ended up happening to her shortly after
Oh yes, so terribly sad 😞
