I apologize for the more blog-style posting, but...

  Somehow I find some old photographs to be really fascinating. The older
the photograph, the more fascinating. For example, consider this photograph
taken in 1897:

  Even though this is just a posed photo (and they have clearly suited up
for the photo instead of being their casual clothes) you can still read a
lot from the photo when you really start to examine it. It can excite your
imagination a lot if you study it long enough.

  Or take for example this panoramic photo of RMS Lusitania taken in 1907:

  The amount of interesting detail in this photo is staggering.
