  • Support - Durova, these old images you dig up always make me wonder what made these people take time out of their days to sit (stand) for a portrait, especially when they probably had the thought of, "Why would you take a picture me?" at the time. Very cool. ~ ωαdεstεr16«talkstalk» 06:10, 10 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
