Anii 1900, o perioadă boemă, lumea era liniştită, nu aveau trafic aglomerat, la televizor nu era politică sau manele, se scriau poezii, se trimiteau scrisori, lumea era mult mai linistita.

Dar totuşi, şi pe vremea aceea existau fotografi şi chiar unii foarte buni(comparabil şi cu cei contemporani). Nu pot spune că, deşi am ajuns în anul 2010 şi fotografiile de 60 de megapixeli sunt la îndemana oricui ne-am chinuit de pomană, dar în mare parte facem aceleaşi fotografii. Folosim aceleaşi poziţii, aceeaşi încadratură şi aceleaşi scheme de iluminare. Avem aceleaşi idei în fotografie care le-au avut şi oamenii de acum 100 şi ceva de ani. Avem culori de 32 de biţi, dar apelam de foarte multe ori la alb-negru şi sepia.

O colecţie strânsă de RetroGrafix. Descrierile fotografiilor sunt cele originale.

Enjoy!
