I’m old enough to have seen some of the pictures in print! Good stuff.

Yep, and the fact that it was all pre-PS says a lot for the reasons that make the pix memorable. Today's lot, painted with electrons, is a homogenous whole, a bland, anodyne and, literally in many cases, eminently forgettable melt of plastic.
