A New Way of Looking at Colour Photography

A few weeks ago, I found this amazing body of work by Russian photographer Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii, who took colour photographs of Russia around 1909-1912. How is that done? Have a look at the link:

I wondered if I could do it myself, and with infrared film. First time, fail. Next time better.

Some last Iceland images

I finally got around to scanning the last of my holga images from Iceland. Here are a couple of pictures from that last few days I spent there, at the beginning of April. I took a couple of trips in around the south of the country. The beach is very near where the volcano erupted.
