Ever pick up an old bunch of 35mm negatives at a flea market and get them developed? That's what this person did, and they found a treasure trove of old NYC photos from the 1930s. They write, "Every vintage '30s photo is a gorgeous delight, and, after looking at the first couple of scanned images, it was quite obvious that the photographer knew what he/she was doing. There are some great portraits, people working in an office, some great shots of NYC, and, even better, a big group of shots of the New York World's Fair (the most spectacular of them all, in my opinion)."
