Rather than start a thread I am going to post it in here, basically for part of my degree I need to find colour grainy images/ saturated rich photography of anything early to mid 20th century, I remember seeing a link to colour photography from Russia in the early twentieth century - If someone could link me to this I would be eternally grateful. Any suggestions too would be hugely appreciated.
If not then no worries!
EDIT: found the russia in the 20th century ones, but any suggestions would be fantastic!

I rode on the bus yesterday and the driver stopped by a liquor store, ran inside for 2 minutes, and got back on.
After the next few lights he said, "I'm gonna get a hit offa that stuff now" and drank booze from a paper bag. There were 3 passengers including myself and we are regulars so I think that's cool.

Buy a droid x and take pictures. The camera on that phone is so grainy already. =\fujee wrote:Rather than start a thread I am going to post it in here, basically for part of my degree I need to find colour grainy images/ saturated rich photography of anything early to mid 20th century, I remember seeing a link to colour photography from Russia in the early twentieth century - If someone could link me to this I would be eternally grateful.
