Beautiful Color Photographs from the WPA


Add Image













I found this article today on PDN showing 14 beautiful color photographs from the WPA during the depression. I find this fascinating because I have only ever seen the famous black and white images we are shown in photo history. I dare say some of these images are just as good as the more famous WPA works and do alot more to make the depression years feel less like ancient history and more like something we can relate to in current times.

Amazing Cross Eye Stereoscopes

I've always been fascinated with stereoscopic images. Just found this post with alot of very cool images you can view in 3D by looking at them cross eyed.

I am actually planning on experimenting with making some stereoscopic pinhole images this summer.
