That also means, if Anne Frank and MLK, were alive today, they would only be in their 90s.

95, to be precise. Only two years older than William Shatner.

What always gets me is Pablo Picasso died in 1973. For some reason I always thought he was around a century or two earlier.

I'm an older millennial, born 1984, recently turned 40.

My gramps was born 1909. Not only was he alive during WW2, he was of fighting age. Not only did he fight in WW2, he was actually one of the oldest guys in his unit, seeing as he was over 30 when he got drafted.

WW2 and other first half of the 20th century shit isn't anywhere as far back in time as it feels it is.

Same year as Barbara Walters. But also Audrey Hepburn and Grace Kelly. Yasser Arafat. Ed Asner. June Carter Cash. And, famousbirthdays.com tells me, TikTok's Gangsta Grandma.

Edit: They were all born the same year Wyatt Earp died.

Your title got me too.

I've always found it interesting how a black and white photo can distort our perception of when something happened.

Was researching million man March for a presentation. Some of the first pictures were in bnw even though it happened in the 90s.

My conspiracy side says it's deliberate. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Black and white film remained popular for decades after color film because it had different properties and could be easier to work with. Some photographers also preferred the aesthetic. Before digital photography became as good as film, B&W continued to be used in professional photography.

Appreciated. ๐Ÿ‘
