I've always found it interesting that people's perception of history is coloured(couldn't resist) by having only seen it in black and white. You almost have to remember that the world wasn't actually in black and white 100 years ago. It's fascinating to see photos from that far back in colour, it somehow makes it easier to empathise with the people in the shots.

Makes the world back then seem more modern, forces me to take it more seriously. The past is a different place, not stupider or more primitive, just different.
