About Me:

I'm a professional set designer living in San Diego, California, and I grew up before the internet blew the concept of Six Degrees of Separation out of the water. If you'd like to learn more about my other life as a set designer, check out my website here:

Kodachrome

My dad’s body of work [labor of love] as an amateur photographer creates the visual history of my childhood. In fact, in the 1960s, a good deal of actual history was being made in our own backyard—since our backyard was essentially in Washington, D.C.

One example is the 1963 March on Washington.

The March on Washington, according to the Wikipedia, "was one of the largest political rallies for human rights in United States history and called for civil and economic rights for African Americans. It took place in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday, August 28, 1963. Martin Luther King, Jr., standing in front of the Lincoln Memorial, delivered his historic "I Have a Dream" speech advocating that racial harmony should prevail upon the march."

The colors are true to the original slide image, and Mother Nature has provided a softening of the hues in keeping with the age of the slides. No sharpening has been done--these photos are what they are.
