A friend of my posted this article on Facebook from the website Curious Eggs. A collection of photographs were recently rediscovered of early 20th Century Paris. Color photography was not the norm for this time.

"All the images shown below were taken using Autochrome Lumière technology. It's an early color photography process, patented in 1903 and invented by the famous French Auguste and Louis Lumière, popularly known as Lumière Brothers. They were the earliest filmmakers in history."







 







Isn't it fascinating to see these photos knowing this is the way these people lived their lives, yet when we picture it, most of the images we've seen are in black and white. Somehow, the images being in color makes this time feel more real and more relatable. I find them to be really incredible.
 
Have a nice weekend!
Mom is still in the hospital, please continue to offer your prayers,
good vibes, chants, hums, and intentions her way.

  1. Amazing. And you sum it up exactly in your last paragraph. It's the way we all imagine it in our head, and even closer to capturing it when its in color. All we need's a time machine now. The one in the market is totally moving
