  1. A la fin de sa vie il se met à l'autochrome, permettant de faire des photos en couleur (ici le port de Nice). La Société française de photographie a une belle collection de photos du domaine public, dont elle s'approprie les droits 😉 photographie.sfp.asso.fr/index

  2. I posted this before, but it is worth it just for the beautiful photo.

    This picture feels like it was taken yesterday… but it was taken in a Paris public garden nearly a hundred years ago. Everything feels modern: the composition, the casualness, the daring clothes, haircuts, and accessories.
    The colors are original: this is an #autochrome, using the first process for colour photography invented by the Lumière brothers in 1903.
    The women are unknown, but I can't help wondering how they fared a few years later in nazi-occupied Paris.

  3. Tea house hidden by the greenery of the “Japanese village” at Albert Kahn’s Boulogne-Billancourt property (1910) by Albert Kahn collection, from Archives de la Planète.

  5. "In November 1911, the French banker Albert Kahn revealed his plans for an undertaking that was global in scale and utopian in its horizons: he aimed to document the whole of humanity, to “fix once and for all, the look, practices, and modes of human activity whose fatal disappearance is just a question of time.”

  6. Jeden Monat einen Bildband kaufen, mein erfolgreichster Neujahrsvorsatz, schon seit 2023. Im Juli gab es das frisch erschienene Buch „Colour Mania“ von Catlin Langford, darin Autochromes verschiedener Fotografen.

    Autochrome ist ein frühes Verfahren, um farbige Diapositive herzustellen. Die Farbaufnahmen in dem Buch sind allesamt aus der Zeit 1907-1934. #fotografie #autochrome

  7. Habe gestern ein paar alte Autochrome-Aufnahmen meines Urgroßvaters auf 9x12 Glasplatten entdeckt und bin noch von der Qualität dieser historischen Farbaufnahmen geplättet. War ein Hobby meines Urgroßvaters. Hier ein Beispiel:

    Didn't know about Lomochrome Purple. It has the subtle pastel tones of the old autochrome process, though the manufacturer does not seem to market it as such. Or is the secret in your processing? Either way, your Surf School photograph and its colours are an autochromistic masterpiece!

    Can't resist adding a link to the greatest autochrome photograph ever, by one of the photographic gods:
