russian color photos from a century ago

The Smithsonian restored and digitized photographic plates taken by Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorski from 1909 to 1912.

These people were on the brink of history.

You can find them here. Other links on the three color process and more. Many interesting images!

thanks for the tip Sukie

smashing wintergreen for photons

Most of you have probably crunched wintergreen lifesavers in dark places to watch the flash.

The process is triboluminescence and a great photo appears on the wonderful blog Photo Synthesis

art is art, cameras are just tools

The NY Times has a piece on Shawn Rocco and his cellphone photography.

Some years ago I did some work with a famous fashion photographer. He knew I wasn't part of the industry and showed me his "book" of important photos he had taken. One was a cover from Vogue that was taken with a $10 Kodak Instamatic in the 70s - it seems he was on location in Tahiti and the trunks containing his gear hadn't arrived. The models were there and the clock was ticking - he went to the hotel store and bought a half dozen cheap cameras and started shooting. The image that was finally selected was incredible.
