A initially learned photography as a kid shooting black & white then developing the photos in a dark room, that was a magical time and sparked my interest in photography. As I got older I dabbled in digital photography but wasn't until my kids were born that i really started to get an active interest back in it all.

Strange how most of them look traumatized or something.
Queen liliuokalani?
I can't help but notice that almost all of the women have their hair styled with a "part" straight in the middle. I wasn't aware that this was such a dominant hair style during this period!
Fascinating set of pictures! Thanks for posting them!

The heart wrenching sadness of the woman holding a picture of two children. Man…desolation in her left eye. I said I was sorry to her that she had felt so much pain.
they had no toilet paper or tampons or anything to shave their pits or legs, ………….stinky.
In 200 Years no one can watch our Photos and you know why, Digital is not made for Eternity ;(
Too slow!!
Stunning ! To think many of the people in these photographs were born over 200 years ago !
Beautiful work 😍
What I notice is that not too many of these people are overweight or higher. Unlike today in which 2 out of 3 US citizens are overweight or higher.
1:14 "Fisher Lassie and her child by David Octavius Hill and Robert Adamson,1843-1848". How could her child have two fathers?
Not very happy are they?
in those times people had very short life, most died from infectious diseases, 100 years later, their life had increased 20 or 30 years, but most died from chronic diseases mainly heart attacks, now heart attacks have been reduced 70% from the 60's and again life has increased, in USA, in 2018 longevity has stalled because opiod epidemic, what is next?
everyone had black hair
All the women are so slim!
When Woman (still) KNOW how to Dress Properly and Respectfully.
how terrible how those people dress up at the time I think it was so horrible everything had to be covered that women with those horrible corsets and those hairs inhuman I can't imagine bah, what people did to each other to come up with this and to impose it
The neckbeards were popular back then 👀😂
Yea I bought a lot of old photos like these and put them around the house….instant relatives.
2 things I take away from these haunting images.
1. The extraordinary styling of the hair.
2. No one was fat.
ALL dead only places remain
life snatching life like human mind upgrades and born every year
Photos are haunting and grim
