Boy of Blue – Macabre and Unusual Pinhole Camera Art
Wayne Belger is, among other things, a photographer. But he doesn’t just grab his twelve megapixel high-end digital camera to shoot. He builds his own.

Now here is something truly amazing. The Boston Globe reports on a set of color photos of the Russian empire from around 1910. How did this happen, you ask? Well… Back in the early 20th century, between 1905 and 1910, Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii, a scientist and a photographer, had the idea of educating school children…
