Did the Hebrew National brand begin at that deli in the background? If Kodachrome hadn't been taken from us, I would probably shoot it exclusively. The slide overall has a warmth to it (Afga used to advertise their Agfachrome as the "people" film. I wonder if (1) the slide was warm in 1955 and looks the same as it did 65 years ago, or (2) there is a color shift that has taken 65 years to get to this warmth. > On Jan 18, 2021, at 4:03 AM, Peter Klein via LUG <lug at leica-users.org> > wrote: > > While I grew up in a Boston suburb, I was born in New York City, and spent > most of my first two years in this neighborhood in the Bronx.
