A blast from the past

i present you the man who discovered a technique to colorize photographs in the beginning of the 19th century ..

Sergey Prokudin-Gorsky

im baffled to see how gorgeous our world was at that time .. , it fascinates me

Excellent! Thank you so much for this link! It's nice to put pictures (especially colored ones) to a time period I've read so much about.

p.s. it's beginning of 20th, not 19th, century

oups sorry for the error ,


yes it brings out the living out of boring contrasty black and white pictures ..

i am mostly fascinated by the colorful architecture of that time ..


and how decayed they are today !


wish they would have discovered that in ancient civilisations .. having pics dating from the egyptien period would be spectacular

They used to hand paint each frame. Now, that's patience.
