I like that 70's-style amateur photo color dynamic. For some reason I barely see stuff like that, anymore. Why is that..?

Might be an effect of some kinds of film, while nowadays most amateurs use digital?

Oh, for sure. And it prolly wasn't Kodachrome film, either.

I'm just a bit unsure of why we don't see many photos like this in general, anymore. I mean, they were all over the place at one point, including capturing significant archeological and historical content.

Possibly a lot of them got upgraded via modern tools and reposted, so there's that.
