    Russia in color, a century ago

    Based on the quality of the photos, you'd think these were taken yesterday.

    People stayed really covered up back then.

    Most everyone even wears some form of headgear.

      It was colder then, what with global warming.

        I was sure I had posted in this thread when you first did it, thanking you for linking to it. Fascinating stuff.

            breathtaking. I've always enjoyed black and white era photos, but the richness of the colors in these are just incredible and it really adds a new dimension to the period.

            Knock it off. This board has enough problems without a dose of middle-age lechery.

              Black and white photos always have a feel of an image frozen in time. Color photos make the past come alive.

                Those are fantastic photos. To give credit where due, however, I feel opbligated to note that CMBF posted a link to these on a nother paper's site a few weeks ago:

                  Those are amazing. Thanks for posting.
                  Kids in general these days seem more socially retarded...

                  None of them date. They hang out. They text. They sit in the same car or room and don't say a word...they text. Then, they go home and whack off to internet porn.

                  I think that's the sad truth about why these kids are retards.

                    Saw this, mindblowing. What's most striking is how much more tangible the people feel because of the color. B&W photography has a way of fading people into a time that you don't relate to. The color removes that barrier.

                    Some amazing images in there.
