Future of the Blog
Dear Followers,
Unfortunately due to being extremely busy and losing access to Photoshop, I will not be able to continue posting on this blog for the foreseeable future (unless I regain access to Photoshop). I had planned to upload images from 2014 until the end of 2018, as a way to commemorate the War, but unfortunately things didn’t go as planned. I may continue posting in the future if the circumstances change. Thank you all for following my blog.

Massive Blog Update
To my loyal followers, thank you for your kind support for this blog. I do apologize for not updating this blog as much as I wanted to during the first half of this year. I am planning to do a massive update of the blog. Soon you will see the following pages on the tab menu:
Colour Photographers of the First World War: This section will serve as a place for fellow visitors and fans of the blog to read-up on the biographies of the pioneering photographers that captured the First World War in natural colour.
Colour Photography Techniques: This section will contain brief information about the processes and photographic equipment available during the First World War that allowed for natural colour photographs to be captured and produced during the early 20th century.
Resources/Databases: A compiled list, which contain links to galleries of colour photographs that cover both the First World War and the early 20th century.
I will also do my best to upload at least two photographs a week to keep this blog active.
Thank you all for your patience and understanding.
