Golden Era Passtimes / Hobbies
A past time of mine was "a must" in the 30s and 40s: photography, developing at home (Kodak, just before the war, made almost half of its money with material for amateurs, making their own photographs at home).

Music suggestions 20's 30's big band & jazz?
Great Harry Reser. The best banjoist I ever heard. He was my grandfather's idol in beggining of the 30s. But as a banjo solist, very more impressive than the Cliquot Orchestra.- martinsantos

Naked City (1948)
Hi. Sometimes you will ear about the influence of a photography book about this movie. I believe this is true. "The Naked City", by WeeGee - aka Arthur Fellig. New-yorker, from the 30s and 40s, always with a Speed Graphic and flash. He registered the "dark side" of life. Little criminals...- martinsantos
