Gravesite

Found by Sam Scholes in Salt Lake City, Utah

Notice the vintage car, the piles of flowers and the oddly dressed ladies in the background. I think this photo is very surreal.

    I’m gonna stick my neck out here and say that the picture of this this gravesite is a print taken from a color slide and was taken sometime in the early1950s. Color photography was introduced to the consumer in the early 1940s, in the form of Kodachrome, 35mm slides, and was really the rage for several years (so you could put on a slide show and bore your guests 2/3 to death). The car looks to be a ’49 Ford and the clothes the women are wearing look like they’re from the mid-to-late 1950s. Judging by the veritable plethora of flowers, I wouldn’t be at all surprised if this was the gravesite of none other than President George Albert Smith, 8th President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. He died in 1951.

    Kodak actually introduced Kodachrome in 1935.
