Early colour photography from the Motherland
October 23, 2009Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii uses a specially designed view camera that creates three separate monochromatic negatives at once. By applying red, green and blue filters to selectively cut colour transmittance, he collects red, green and blue tones on separate negatives, which can later be combined during printing using similar filters to create colour images. All this in 1905!
Via “Captured“

“Gentleman Jim”
May 31, 2009
Former boxer/streetfighter John James (AKA “Gentleman Jim”) strikes a pose for the camera on whyte avenue. He is fifty years old, and a passionate preacher of racist humour. Can you guess his age?
