I feel the same way about photograph albums as I do about scrapbooks. I love and hate them. For me, photographs are more relatable and pleasurable than accumulated stuff and I love looking at photographs, even of people I don't know.

The second to the last image shows a pumping smoke stacks and this is one of the few examples of animation in the collection. Lastly, the color dye in the film has deteriorated, so it appears as yellow and red with other colors faded out completely although originally it would have had many colors in it-blue, yellow, red, green, brown, flesh tones, etc.
