"I am not one who was born in the custody of wisdom. I am one who is fond of olden times and intense in quest of the sacred knowing of the ancients." Gustave Courbet

Awe.


In ’49 when this film expired the commercial airline industry was just beginning its huge post war expansion. I can only imagine the awe that the passengers must have felt when flying for the first time. The last image of the clouds from an airplane conveys that sense of wonder to me so I included it in the set.

THE PAST IS A FOREIGN COUNTRY. THIS IS YOUR PASSPORT.

This is exactly why I love this site.
