Bagel what are your powers

[acabosetotal]

FUCK, I though it was just another lucky meme but LISTEN. Since a week ago I was waiting a phone call to confirm me if I got a job or not in my university. I reblogged this yesterday’s night “just for fun and because I don’t want any bagel to be mad with me”, and today’s afternoon, while I was losing my time as always, the professor I was supposed to work with called me and asked me for my personal information to start working with her.

THE BAGEL POWERS ARE WAY TOO MUCH FOR THIS WORLD

Overlock Stitch by @clothes_reetzy

[thatisuseful]

Damn, that's useful

[fluidstatick]

Finally a hand sewing tutorial on a hemline that isn't just the ladder stitch! the ladder stitch disappears when you tighten it, but it's not meant for hemlines because it breaks really easily! The overlock stitch is more stable, so it holds much longer, and it won't pucker or warp the fabric!

baby Ilya’s tiny angry Russian ranting when Irina won’t let him stay on the ice and his cheeks are all bright pink and his little nose is wet and he’s plopping down onto the ice and crossing his arms and yelling NYET NYET NYET.

Across the ocean at the exact same time, the exact same thing is happening to a very exhausted Yuna Hollander.

In 1848, a Nagasaki merchant, Ueno Shunnojo, imported the first daguerreotype camera through the Dutch trading post of Deshima.

Photography developed slowly in Japan due to the technical demands, lack of instruction, and difficulty in obtaining the necessary equipment and supplies. However, with the arrival of a new era of Meiji in 1868, photography flourished. During this period, travel restrictions were eased and foreign tourists began to flock to Japan. Photographs became popular souvenirs and a prosperous market emerged for Japanese tourist photography. Ironically, these world travelers, including many notable Americans from New England, were more interested in traditional Japanese culture than the dramatic transformation of Japanese society that was taking place around them.

Japanese tourist photography became popular for these world travelers who wanted to preserve not only their experiences of Japan but also their romanticized views of Japan.

Felice Beato (1832–1909), an Italian–British war photographer arrived in Japan in 1863 and established one of the earliest commercial photography studios in Yokohama where he marketed his views of Japan and Japanese people to Westerners. Beato influenced the early photography of Japan and popularized what became the most distinguishing characteristics of Japanese tourist photography, the practices of hand coloring photographs and mounting them in albums. Many Japanese photographers followed in Beato’s footsteps, including Tamamura Kozaburo, Kusakabe Kimbei, and Ogawa Kazamasu. As a result, Japanese tourist photography also became known as “Yokohama shashin” or Yokohama-style photography.

A practice of hand coloring photographs was introduced in Europe in the 1840s, but it was refined by Japanese photographers. By the 1880s, it had become a common practice and a defining characteristic of Japanese tourist photography.

Early Photography of Japan is a virtual collection of more than 40 souvenir photograph albums and illustrated publications with over 2,000 images. Check out the collections.

I was planning to make a submission to Fonts In Use about these, but hadn't gotten around to it yet. I guess I'll do it here.

Most (all?) of these fonts were available as Letraset sheets, so I'm guessing they used those to make the titles (as opposed to using digital fonts, which were very new back then).
