The hour glass.

As my interest in photography keeps growing i find myself looking into vintage photos and how they seem to lock a certain moment of time. It gets me excited when i see all these different photos. It's like looking into someones eyes in that certain era. I want to share some photos i found online that intrigued me. Hope you like them.

April 27, 1937. "Capitol's busiest policeman. Besides being an arm of the law, a Capitol policeman has to also act as an information bureau. Frank Foley, officer on duty at the entrance of the Senate office building from 8 to 4, kept a record today of the number of questions asked him. At the end of his day's hitch the total showed 1,568 questions asked, and answered correctly and with a smile, if we must believe Mr. Foley. Miss Mildred Aitken of Brooklyn, N.Y., is the pretty sightseer in this picture, receiving directions from officer Foley."
