These Time Capsule Photos were mostly shot during the 1970s and 1980s on Kodachrome that Franklynn deliberately underexposed in order to produce images with maximum color saturation.  That also tended to obscure details in some images so lighting and rock steady camera or tripod were essential.  Until digital technology became commonly available and affordable, these photos mostly sat in boxes waiting for the right time to "develop" them.  Digital scanners, printers and software make it possible now to edit and print these Time Capsule Photos for $10s-$100s each on super-precise digital printers instead of $1,000s each for a labor intensive process called dye transfer printing.  Back when  these Time Capsule Photos were shot, very few photo engravers wanted to be bothered to perform the custom exposures for mass circulation magazines.  (Sepia and Popular Science were among the notable exceptions.)

Franklynn was "dusted" by this plane which led to his discovering that the same chemical that made the Vietnam War's Agent Orange so toxic was a key ingredient in cotton defoliation sprays. Frank soon turned his research into nationally published exposes.
