I get emotional when I view old photographs knowing all these people have passed on who once led lives like we do.

Fascinating trip back in time! The portraits were wonderful, and the photographer did live to be 73, a long life in those days!

How appropriate, and how interesting it is to hear a version of Procol Harum's "Too Much Between Us" (from the album, A Salty Dog) at the beginning of this fascinating video. The images that Easterly recorded, his aesthetics as an 'artist', and the histories of the subjects which he included with those images, provide a glimpse into a world far removed from our own, yet somehow familiar.

That black lady at the beginning was beautiful.

We have a lot of Memento Mori on my fathers side of the family. The photos were proudly displayed among photos of the living in our home.

If anyone is interested in the past they might want to take a trip to Liverpool in England where apparently a number of people claimed to have a genuine " time slip " experience on a particular street where they seemed to have slipped back in time to somewhere in the 1800's. One man even included detailed accounts of the claims of the area in a book he wrote. 🎩🧤🔎⏳
