Three cups of Tea

The first time you share tea with a Balti, you are a stranger. The second time you take tea, you are an honored guest. The third time you share tea, you are family. ******************************************** Kon'nichiwa. je m'appelle Emily. Me gusta photography & world cultures/languages.

Scarlett Hooft Graafland

Documenting her own bizarre interventions in harsh landscapes, Scarlett Hooft Graafland uses a combination of photography, performance, and site-specific sculpture to create images that are surreal and fantastical. Hooft Graafland journeys deep into remote, difficult terrains—Bolivian salt flats, the Arctic, or rural China—which she uses as stark and striking backdrops to playful juxtapositions and installations often inspired by the local population and mythology.

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]
