A man and woman pose in Dagestan, ca. 1910 Following a link supplied by a friend, I found this series of photographs taken a century ago in southeastern Russia. The magic of these pictures comes in large part from their being in color. This was done with three b&w exposures using color filters, then projecting the images in red, yellow, and green in perfect register. The result creates an image reminiscent of a color photograph, but in many ways more like a projection. Not simply the projection used in its viewing, or today in creating a digital print, but a projection out of the past and into the present.
