Amazing Photograph

Since this blog is called "a picture of a photograph", I thought it only apt to include this particular picture of a photograph.

More about its background after you look at it. For right now, just make sure to click on the thumbnail and look at the picture full size...


When do you think this picture was taken?

Well, you're wrong because it was around 1905. The photo was taken by Sergey Prokudin-Gorsky, an early pioneer in color photography. His work is really worth checking out; vibrant, classical and just a tad (unintentionally, of course) psychedelic.

So go check it out...I'll still be here.
