I'd like to go back in time but I'm afraid they'd all think I was queer.

Looks like Disney copied the Russian castle and inverted colors[/QUOTE]
[release][url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinderella_Castle](wikipedia says)[/url]
Cinderella Castle was inspired by a variety of real and fictional castles. These included Fontainebleau, Versailles and the chateaus of Chenonceau, Chambord and Chaumont, as well as Castle Neuschwanstein, Bavaria, and Alcázar of Segovia, Castile and León (Spain), the oldest of all, which is 9 centuries old. The chief designer of the Castle, Herbert Ryman, also referenced the original design for the castle in the film Cinderella and his own well-known creation — the Sleeping Beauty Castle at Disneyland in California.[/release]

still, that's a beautiful shot of that building and area, it really humbles you to think of that, then remember going out into the countryside even in areas by me and it felt just like that, so quiet, isolated, and rural.
Really interesting photography; it really doesn't look like it was taken a century ago, but it was. Especially that photo of a scenery including a red-white church in the background and a few houses on the foreground.
It's sad to think that all those people on these photos aren't alive today. :frown:
This is incredible.
Wow. That's really something, the picture looks extremely ahead of its time. Simply astonishing and beautiful.
That's really cool. It feels weird looking at photographs that are supposed to be black and white for that time period.
nevermind. Brain fart. Just went to the source page.

The whole thing is really stunning. It has rather strong impact on me, for some reason.
I feel the need for [b] more [/b].
In about 100 years they'll remake our HD photo's and make them into Mega-HD photo's.
Man, this is incredible. It's surprising how much impact the presence of color has on how pictures feel. I'm not sure if it's the color itself, or if it's just because something which we associate with more modern pictures is present.
I agree, these photos have an impact on me too.
I think it's because we can relate to them, these people are just sitting down, standing, walking around, just like us today. There's really nothing different to us other than the clothing. The fact that they're in colour is making the most impact, since while knowing this is 100years ago and these people aren't alive today, it feels like this IS today ... and we see the resemblance of us, in them. If these were the typical black and white, it wouldn't make an impact on us since we feel like what happend here is long gone, history, we see no relation.
There's proof of this in the harbour picture for me ... I actually thought I saw modern day cars in them, because in such a modern look like that, I expect to see modern day cars. I had to remind myself that was 100 years ago.
Sergey Larenkov's photos of the mixture of then and now are amazing. It makes me wonder, the people of today in the photo, do they realise that 65 years ago there was a Soviet soldier standing right next to them? There was an explosion right next to them? There was a soldier painting right next to them? Did they know that a soldier who suffered and sacrificed so much for them to walk there was standing there next to them fighting for their right to walk there today?
Also the soldiers 65 years ago, did they stop to think that today there would be people like us walking around stress free right where they were trying to stay alive?
It's these things that make me really think about ourselves. Which is why these photo's are making a huge impact on me and probably the reasons why they make an impact on you too.

?how would they do that
[QUOTE=abcpea2;26425015]?how would they do that[/QUOTE]
Procedural generation etc. You can guess the type of material and generate the detail of it like cloth, wood, etc. More of question would be why would they do that, as these days pictures are more or less what you see with eyes.
Russia was beautyful before the revolution.
[QUOTE=Sector 7;26421475]There's a modern photographer who juxtaposed modern photos with ones taken during WW2.

Cool shit. I can't find his blog though.[/QUOTE]
Woah.
I wonder if the guy prints those pictures, slatches them on a piece of cardboard and cover it with plastic so it doesn't get ruined in the rain, and put them up around the places they've been taken picture of.
Because that would be totally kickin' rad
I've seen these before, but they never fail to amaze me.
Colour.
That picture of the Emir is pretty awesome
Well the only difference between then and now, that I can find, is that everyone wore costumes.
That is breathtaking. You seriously stop believing the world was in color before color photos.
