Color, color, color. More color than chocolate. I can't begin to imagine how many chocolate bars they would have to sell just to pay the rent and the utilities. It must be a good business. I like the way you arranged the pictures.
Sometime when you get a chance, I hope you can take a look at my 1954 picture of a boat I took in Shipgama, Japan. Kodak and Fuji color film had just come out but I didn't think it would last. I was much more comfortable with black and white.
Go to http://www.oldmanlincoln.com/ and scroll down to the last picture.
abraham - That's a real nice photo. And yes, even though I appreciate black and white, I am a big fan of color.
