Early Color Photographs/I'm a Barista
Came across an amazing article today about a Russian noble by the name of Prokudin-Gorsky, who created a series of color photographs of the Russian landscape in 1909 - this is before penicillin, people.
Wikipedia enlightened me on the technical process:
"His process used a camera that took a series of three monochrome pictures in sequence, each through a different coloured filter. By projecting all three monochrome pictures using correctly-coloured light, it was possible to reconstruct the original colour scene."
Coool. On that note, I wish Kodak still produced dye transfer materials. I'm not enthusiastic about William Eggleston's imagery, but damn if his colors aren't incredibly right.
In other news, I have a job. Holy smokes. Come by Le Pain Quotidien in Rye to watch me serve up some absolutely rude cappuccino. It's got a French name, it must be quality shit!
That is all.
