If you think that photos we take today are mind blowing and sometimes so breathtaking you're unsure how the photographer was able to catch something so amazing, you should take a look at this website . . .

Now, before you click it, you may be interested to know that those photos were taking in the 1940s and were shot on a 4x5 Large Format camera, which can reach the equivalent to 100 to even 1,000 megapixels. Now that's mind blowing!
Just look at the sharpness and clarity of each photo. We often see stuff on TV; black and white movies and photos from this time period, but they never seem to do that much, not for me anyway. These, however, they really make me feel like I'm there. It's hard to believe that those photos aren't models posed at a shoot yesterday, but in fact working people there and then. It's amazing!
I'm sure anyone into photography will enjoy this. So please, take a look.
