when 'disney; wasn't ghetto

Oh, look at her now... so jaded. Go to 'Disney' 5 times a year for 8 years and tell me what you come up with.

Once upon a time Kodachrome was king and vacation films like these were projected on living room walls throughout the land, with dust motes floating through the flirckering light.
The color and quality of these films is just beautiful. Honestly, compared to the digi cams we have now? These have such 'tooth'. Jeff Altman's found shorts, are a look into the life of a grandfather that he never really knew.
These films, via A Continuous Lean via Vimeo are such a great archive the way things used to be.

This one's crazy, San Francisco really hasn't changed that much... save for the Trans America buidling profile.
