Photo History of the people of Earth 1839 to 1853

[NowPleaseReadThis]

thanks for the effort but too fast a presentation. Also fading between shots makes you crosseyed at this high paced rate changing of photos - the viewer spend s half the time trying to adjust. Better off dividing all these shots into parts 1 and two or even three 10 minutes videos.

This pictureshow is looks like a movie instead of a photo selection show.

Its played too fast to see details. nevertheless it is better then nothing

00:20 that guy is so hot....

[ShadowXxXDemon82]

this music is awful, you should die for adding that audio and the makers of the song should die too

[allenleetan]

but when was the camera invented?

[tashenaevers]

man no one smiled back then,,,must have been a sin...

To Choowbz

From which Gregorian chant did you take this from? You did an amazing job with it, it sounds very beautiful, and the feeling you got across with music accompanied the photographs very well.

Faster, faster

@FuzzyCigarDude I am really glad that someone liked the chant. i worked long and hard on that one.

It was all done with a single hum that i kept multitracking.

I kept adjusting the tones till i got a shiver down my spine and then i knew it was the effect i was after.

I was going to redo this clip when i get time and perhaps slow down the frame rate to get a good still of each photo.

I've seen these photos countless times now and they still blow me away.

Does anyone know anything about the house @1:34?

[Choowbz]

@RainbowBrite80 Yes it was one of the first home photo portrait's

Its in Philadelphia and was the residence of the photographer

I have all the details, even the address of the house in the files but it may take some time to dig them up

I believe the house is still there today

I will get back to you with the details asap

[RainbowBrite80]

@Choowbz Thank you very much!! I would appreciate that.

[toadfan64]

3:00 wow looks very....realistic

[terrycloth97]

Lol, all of those people in those pics are ugly as hell. Hilarious they all look like children of the damned. LMAO!

[tmprogram]

that was creepy

[skaka2]

science might not be the best thing ever happen

[MountAnalogue]

It's amazing how different life was only 150 years ago.

[jaynies1]

i dont think there ugly there fantastic...people now days spend too much time obsessing over the latest fashion must have...im proud to have fetched my kids up non materialistic...bet life was simpler then

Great collection of photos and the music works well with this. I have always been interested in these old photos. Thanks for taking the time to make this.

[snoglobe68]

You might be right. I visited the US recently and thinking back I did notice there were a lot of uglies down there.

[pax41]

These photos are not all from the US.

[Choowbz]

Thats right, the first ones were French but then it was taken up in America and Philadelphia became the cradle of photography

Then England and Scotland

I didn't see and uglies just strange hairdo's

I don't know what they were talking about teeth for as nobody smiled

It was hard to hold the lips open for the long exposures

In all the many photos from that century only one little girl Flora Rankin in 1859 had a modern smile

If YT extended its time limit I would have ended it with her

[pax41]

Those hairdo's were quite interesting.  Those were the result of wearing hats and bad hygiene. People didn't take baths very often back then and you know what yours looks like in the morning before a shower.

[snoglobe68]

I am aware of that fact thank you, my comment was just a joke

[snoglobe68]

Is it just me or were people uglier back then?lol. The picture at 1:20, 5:44 and 8:08 really creeped me out. At 7:16 not bad at all. 8:48 I'd imagine she felt very ashamed and probably scared as hell. Shameful picture. (not for u to show it K) Very nice post. Brilliantly done.

[pax41]

The one at 7:16 would surely have been considered a beauty in her day or even today.

[Volgin93]

No, it's not just you. I always think about that when I see old pictures. I don't know why it is... Well, that's what we call evolution, right?

[snoglobe68]

I thought so too, thanks for the support!

[snoglobe68]

Hard to express what I felt viewing these images. I went through the 1901 census in order to find my Great Grandfather. I finally found his name in a district not far from where I grew up. It was an amazing experience for I found as I went through countless hours of handwritten pages I felt a sudden connection to the people whose names appeared before me. I almost felt the energy of the person who once was alive handwriting each page.

[snoglobe68]

Finally, I located my Great Grandfathers name. The feeling was surreal. He, at that particular moment in my life, existed. I could visualize the neighbourhood, the house. He was 21 at the time and single. He lived with his brother who was married with three children. Seeing the handwriting on those pages gave such feeling of life in that time. I can't imagine how it would have felt if I had actually touched these pages. This video montage brought that back to me once again. Thanks Kevin.
