A three-page thread on the Something Awful forums has been crammed with some of the most sympathetic and expressive vintage photos I've ever seen.
What makes them different from the typical posts at the Vintage Photo LJ community is more than just the links they have to current people. There's something playful and charming about most of the images, where vintage photos are usually quite staid and bland, with frozen faces and awkward bodies.
Whether at war, cradling infants, or eating a picnic, the people portrayed in this thread seem to have secrets, motivations, and a mischievious sense humor all their own.
