I am always in search of great photographs but I think my favorites are early color photographs, when the art was still in it's infancy. It wasn't long after the invention of the photographic process that people started finding ways to make images look more real and since we don't see life in black and white, the color photograph was the way to do this. Many of the images throughout this post are not necessarily the first color photographs but capture life that we are used to viewing in only black and white. The color brings life to the subjects and, in a way, helps you imagine yourself living in that time. There are several in here by one of my favorite American photographers, Marion Post Wolcott. In my opinion, she is up there with Hopper and Thomas Hart Benton as artists who truly captured the soul of America in their art.
