    It’s interesting how most of the really early color photography seems to come out of the Russian Empire.

      The man who took these pictures was an early innovator in color photography and patronized by the Tsar, so he had a lot of opportunity. Some very gorgeous work, I love it.

    There’s a potato documentary about a guy who trades potatoes on Netflix. It’s short and interesting.
