The category ‘Old photographs’
In Russia a century ago, colorphotos were created that gives you a amazing feeling like it was done recently. My friend Richard posted this link on Facebook, and I though it so amazing that I felt compelled to post here! :)
Russia a century ago
This is a window back to 1946, when my grandfather took this photograph. The smallest boy to the left is my father, three years old at the time. My grandfather owned a Zeiss Ikonta bellowcamera which he took a lot of nice pictures with. My father later also photographed a lot and developed his own film. When I was a boy we had a darkroom in the basement. Now I use the camera as often as I can. I use old cameras and lenses which I combine with digital techniques.
My daughter is not old enough to stand behind the camera yet, but she very interested in the camera and is a good little model with a pretty smile ;)
If you missed this: Life magazine has published there photos on the web.
These Leica-images was shot by Hans Jonsson, father to a collegue of mine. A Leica III S was used and the motif are from Dottninggatan (big street in Stockholm) 1958 and on our prince Bertil – a man very interested in cars. If you would like to show some old images, please let me know :)
