Daily, across the globe, we take about 5 billion photos every single day.
Contrast that with the 1960s, for example, where 3 billion photos were taken in an entire year.

So, yes. There was much more intention back then, making some shots absolutely dazzling.
Here are some rare historical shots and additional context.
