Um passeio curioso e pitoresco por algumas cidades norte-americanas no início do século passado.
São fotos americanas antigas. Me pareceram cidades evoluídas e modernas (para a época)
e gente demais na rua...
Fotografias profissionais extremamente nítidas,
Não existiam rolos fotográficos nem câmeras digitais.
As imagens eram captadas em placas de vidro,
com câmeras de abertura mínima,
e temporizada manualmente
para obter uma exposição ideal.
A revelação era difícil,
A revelação era difícil,
sendo necessário cuidado
para não partir as placas de vidro!
