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.

fire alarm going off 30 minutes ago, it's 4:30 am now..

there's no smoke, there's no flame, carbon monoxide alarm isn't going off, but it smells like something's burning

stove is off, microwave off, everything off

everything on (computers) doesn't smell like smoke

no sleep..

I hope I don't meet the girl who's perfect for me then find out she insists on having children.

Cuz' then, I'd have to break up with her, you know.


Guess she wouldn't be that perfect either.
Okay...now...wait for fog machine.

For me that's a win-win.
