It's basically the soviets and americans fault that the taliban came to power.
Imagine how prosperous the middle east would've been, had shit not gone to hell and back.

They're x-rays that have been turned into something a little more artistic. That said, there is art in taking a perfect radiograph too, though some of my lecturers claim that digital radiography is removing a bit of it.

Related, the first X-Ray image in history, done of Wilhem Röntgen's wife's hand.

It's because of how they took photographs back then. It's not like it is now with modern cameras where it takes a few miliseconds for an image to be captured on a piece of film or stored digitally. Way back when, photos took up to 15 minutes to take, so people had to sit very still, and smiling for 15 minutes without moving your face at all is fucking tough as shit. Thats why everyone always looks so bored in old photographs.

It's also why you get insanely creepy photos like these

Then you head out east where $100000 can buy you half a block of homes.
I found a website that procedurally generates classicish music. It comes with a shit ton of settings to alter parts of your composition, like overall tone and other specific stuff related to music.
