As you all know, I have a deep love for vintage photography. It transports me through time. I truly love the surreal darkened colors of a Autochrome. Although the early color technique invented by the Lumiere Bros. was only around for about 20 years, I love what has survived. Each photo looks like a strange dusty painting. A place lost somewhere between color and black & white.
I would love to study more of these autochrome colors. The pinks and blues are incredible. Don't you think they would make a lovely painting palette.

Thanks for sharing these, they're really fantastic autochromes. I especially like the first two, they're really powerful and mesmerizing. It's good to see interest in Autochrome Lumière. (In that vein, I created an app that makes regular photos look more like Autochromes, and it's free on the App Store)
