    Here is the gallery of one Alexey Titarenko, an old school photographer who does interesting things with long exposure.

There is lots to look at here – the countryside is very beautiful, the mountains are gorgeous, and there are plenty of parks with hiking trails, waterfalls, beautiful forests, etc. So one thing I didn’t expect to find here was an abandoned coal mine.

    Here is one of my own images. I like minimalist images, especially if there is an unknown element to them. What is the number nine signifying here? Why was it printed so large?

    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…

    Thanks to my friend Paul, I came across this set of photographs from the early 40’s. They’re in color! These images show us a time when there was no internet, no television, no X-box or Wii, and definitely no cell phones. And yet, these people manage to get along just fine. You can see a…
