In 1910, Auguste Leon visited the German scientist and photographer Adolf Miethe, who helped to invent the flash camera. He used a different, much more rare, the method of color photography - color separation, ie filmed on a triple plate through color filters. Here are some rare and interesting color photos of Norway circa 1910 in A. Miethe's collection.

The lowly potato gave the world sustenance, French fries, and would you believe color photography? In 1903, two French inventors and photographers, Auguste and Louis Lumière, used the potato as the basis for their patented process in creating color photographs, or Autochromes as they were called. It was a simple but ingenious technique—crush potatoes into tiny particles; separate these minuscule starch particles into three; add red, violet and green dye; mix onto a glass plate; brush off the excess; flatten the dyed particles onto the plate between two rollers—thus creating microscopic color filters; fill in any gaps with soot; brush with light-sensitive silver bromide. Voila! You have a photographic plate ready to take color pictures. The Lumières were also behind early advances in motion pictures but the brothers thought there was no future in movies and stuck to developing color photography. By 1907, the Lumières’ technique had proved so successful it infected the photographic world with “color fever.” Photographers across Europe and America (including talented amateurs like Gustave Eiffel better known for his Parisien tower) started producing a gallery’s worth of pictures—from portraits to nudes. To get an idea of scale, take for example...
Carl Størmer (1872-1957) enjoyed a hobby that was very, very unusual at the time. He walked around Oslo, Norway in the 1890s with his spy camera and secretly took everyday pictures of people. The subjects in Størmer's pictures appear in their natural state. These street photography shots extremely differ from the grave and strict posing trends that dominated photography during those years.

I love the wild and free look of the young girl. Grandpa has a sword. The integration of the cultures was inevitable, and the approximate form of the Japanese Kimono has already been adopted. The main Photo and Comments about these fine folks are HERE : www.flickr.com/photos/24443965@N08/2746187012/ My entire AINU Set (still only a few photos) is HERE : www.flickr.com/photos/24443965@N08/sets/72157607060944155/ Both the Okinawans and the Ainu have plenty of bones to pick with the current occupying over-lords who control things from their bureaucratic bunkers in Tokyo. It's not unlike the Native "Indians" of the Americas who have a pile of bones to pick with the Europeans who over-ran them. Although everybody seems to agree that there's no going back, that's no excuse for the way people have been treated by the usurpers and over-runners during the endless centuries of human expansion. When it comes to recognizing the existence of the Ainu, the modern Japanese have, until very recently, been complete and total idiots over the matter.
