Better in Color?
Save Raging Bull, I'm really not a big fan of black and white movies (and even this Scorsese masterpiece cuts to color for part of the movie). And while I do love black and white photographs, I think this collection of color photographs from World War I gives a truer sense of the reality of the time period. Note that these are not B&W photos that have been colored in with a computer program. They are actual color photos developed using Auguste and Louis Lumière's autochrome process invented in 1903.
I previously wasn't aware that such pictures even existed. Head over and take a look at the collection. For those (like me) who don't speak French, just click on the city names in the upper right hand corner to view some of the galleries.
Hat Tip: Thanks to Jim Glass for the link.
