Jeff Altman is a film colorist from Chicago. These scences were shot by his grandparents in 1958.  This footage features only his grandfather; both behind and in front of the camera. He says:
"It was edited by hand some 50 years ago by my grandfather shortly after shooting it. Judging by the 3 minute length, I would say its safe to assume you're seeing all the footage he shot. 100 foot rolls of 16mm are of about 3 minutes in length. The order of the shots were probably changed, as well as removal of flash frames and other junk. "

This is one of the most beautiful videos, peaces of art, if i may add, I've ever seen. Something this natural and undamaged reminds me how beautiful and peaceful earth was 50 years ago, because let's face it - nobody could make something like this now-days. Nothing this magical and significant for human eyes. Thank you Jeff Altman for this lovely treat and thank you likecool.com for existing, you really are the best. Happy Holidays for everyone ... :]

No becus if you tried this now, you would be arrested as a potential 'terrorist' its sunken in the general mindset that people with camera's are terrorists scoping out landmarks. How sad for photography..
