So, younger people had no interest n being photographed. Weird.
Just like some people have no interest in being educated.
That looks like me first thing in the morning.
..........therefore with no knowledge of how to pay their property taxes.
Is it better to be uneducated or miseducated ?
I see they had bad hair days back then too
Early photography took sometimes over a minute of exposure, had to stay perfectly still to not blur the image. Dental care was not what we have today, and a photo was expensive, a once in a lifetime event.
