Autochrome's Enduring Allure

[skyrick]

A lot of the time the NY Times' Lens page of photography reminds me of what a dismal world it is for a lot of mankind. What a beautiful surprise today!

And I'm really loving the Art Deco font on the hangar in the last shot.

I love Autochrome too, I have a couple and will collect some more.
I have a blog about it here with some pictures of the relief image on the emulsion.
When you hold one in your hand it's surprisingly heavy and the images are just wonderful.

Thanks for the heads up!! I haven't looked at the NYT Lens Blog in a few weeks and would have missed this. I will definitely go to the exhibit. Cheers
