Color photos from WWI :-)
Also, discovered that one of my oh-so-cool 2L friends is an AMAZING photographer, that works mainly w/B&W! Ah, the little things that make me happy! Can't wait to play w/pictures over break. We're at ... um, since my phone is dead I don't have an accurate count down ... but approximately 20 days until break; which means 11 days to finals.
I think I just slipped off my high.

Really like the color pics of WWI. It's hard for me to think of that time period in anything other than black&white 'cuz that's all I see of it when I watch TV. The color definitely gives it a dose of realism. By the way, why did it take so long for color tvs to come out?
Because I'm a total nerd, I actually looked up the history of color televisions and learned that the world's first color transmission on July 3, 1928; and that the introduction of color TV's in the US (not until 1941!!!!) was because there were apparently several conflicting systems that were fighting it out w/the FCC.

I'm inclined to think that color photographs are based on much simpler technology, and that would explain the discrepancy.
