It is always fascinating to see the way our ancestors lived. Makes one appreciate the conveniences we now have. Your color and black and white comparison photos show the different moods that can be achieved just by adjusting the color of the photo.
I love the colored version….all that rust and texture is too cool to put in black and white! I hate doing laundry now so I know I would hate it then…I would be piled over my head if I had to do all that work!
I feel like Ron…once again, I must choose the color image. Wonderful colors and textures. Glad to have my 2010-version washer and dryer!

I love the colored version as well. I am staring at a huge pile of laundry now and am glad I don’t have to do it this way.

One of those tried to eat my fingers as a little kid. I like the color for the character and richness it has, but the b/w reminds me of old age.

I love all the warmth of the wood and copper in the color version. Super composition too and processing is perfect.
