These color photographs were all taken in the Russian Empire between 1909 and 1918. 

Sergei Prokudin-Gorskii was a Russian photographer born in 1863. After studying chemistry with Mendeleev and later with Adolf Miethe, Gorskii started developing his own techniques and processes of color photography, giving it a quality that impresses even today.
In 1909, he convinced the Tsar Nicolas II to send him on a trip across the Russian Empire to document its impressive diversity. It was a 10-year project, during which Gorskii took over 10,000 pictures.

The diversity of the people, and the shockingly modern colors of their portraits, make them impossible to forget. They are our contemporaries, now that they stopped hiding between the unfocused black-and-whiteness.

They are almost too present. [via]

This is what is wrong with America.

There’s a lot wrong with America. Racism, Sexism, Homophobia, Xenophobia, the Two Party System, Wall Street, Suburbia, Condos, the Double Down fucking Sandwich at KFC, rich kids who think they’re going to kill themselves if they don’t get the iPhone they want, 13 year olds on Facebook, privatization of our schools, the failed drug war, the fact that we can’t say “vagina” in congress, the Tea Party, our crushing debt, student loans, our dependence on oil, union-busting corporations, assholes who text in the movie theater, mullets, everyone’s insistence on drinking shit Budweiser beer, Monsanto, Fox News, white supremacists in Pennsylvania, Toddlers & Tiaras, kids who don’t know that Georgia is also a country, creationism, abstinence being taught in schools, people who think English is the official language when it’s fucking not, those stupid ribbon magnets on the back of everyone’s SUVs, YOLO, Miley Cyrus…

BUT the lack of tea on American film sets is simply not one of our problems. In fact, it’s not true at all that he can’t get tea on sets here. I was drinking tea on set two weeks ago. Hell, they had a whole case of different teas and chai and hot motherfucking chocolate so DON’T EVEN.

I declare this reblog BULLSHIT

-An American who drinks tea on FILM SETS IN AMERICA

But the thing that bothers me is, why drink tea at all? Why drink tea when the world was made to drink coffee.
