| Dad, how come old photographs are always in black and white? Didn't they have color films back then? |
| Sure they did. In fact, those old photographs are in color. It's just the world was in black and white then. |
| Really? |
| Yep. The world didn't turn color until the late 1930s and it was pretty grainy color for a while, too. |
| That's really weird. |
| Well, truth is weirder than fiction. |
| But then, why are old paintings in color?! If the world was black and white, wouldn't artists have painted in that way? |
| Not necessarily. A lot of great artists were insane. |
| But... But how could they have painted in color anyway? Wouldn't their paints have been shades of grey back then? |
| Of course, but they turned colors like everything else did in the 30s. |
| So why didn't old black and white photographs turn color too? |
| Because they were color pictures of black and white, remember? |
| ... |
| The world is a complicated place, Hobbes. |
