Posted Oct 21, 2009 Share This Gallery inShare58 The photographs of Russian chemist and photographer, Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii, show Russia on the eve of World War I and the coming of the revolution. From 1909-1912 and again in 1915, Prokudin-Gorskii travelled across the Russian Empire, documenting life, landscapes and the work of Russain people. His images were to be a photographic survey of the time. He travelled in a special train car transformed into a dark room to process his special process of creating color images, a technology that was in its infancy in the early 1900′s.

Prokudin-Gorskii left Russia in 1918, after the Russian Revolution had destroyed the Empire he spent years documenting.

A simple smiley This is a list of notable and commonly used emoticons or textual portrayals of a writer's mood or facial expression in the form of icons.

The Western use of emoticons is quite different from Eastern usage, and Internet forums, such as 2channel, typically show expressions in their own ways. In recent times, graphic representations, both static and animated, have taken the place of traditional emoticons in the form of icons. Emoticons can generally be divided into two groups: Western or Horizontal (mainly from America and Europe), and Eastern or Vertical (mainly from east Asia).

The most common explanation for these differences is how the different cultures value different parts of the face, i.e. eyes often play a bigger part in figuring out mood in the East while the West puts the eyes as equal to the rest of the face.[1] Western The emoticon in Western style is written most often from left to right as though the head is rotated counter-clockwise 90 degrees. Eastern. The Big Picture. It a Gril. 35 celebridades eternizadas pelas fotos Polaroid de Andy Warhol. Março 20, 2010 por Editor Entre os anos 70 e 80, Andy Warhol usou câmeras Polaroid para fazer centenas de retratos instantâneos de pessoas famosas. Em geral, ele passava uma maquiagem branca em suas celebridades favoritas, para deixar em evidência apenas os contornos básicos de seus rostos, e depois as fotografava bem de perto, com o flash estourado.

Muitas das imagens obtidas eram depois usadas como base para a criação de suas famosas serigrafias multicoloridas, objetivo e produto final de seus experimentos com a Polaroid. Porém, com o passar dos anos, essas fotos passaram a ser vistas menos como matéria-prima e processo de trabalho, mais como peças de valor histórico e artístico por si sós. Hoje, de 25 a 40 anos depois, as polaroids de Andy Warhol retratam uma época. Seus instantâneos capturaram um período significativo da história do estilo, do culto às celebridades, do uso artístico da tecnologia, da estética pop, da cultura da superficialidade.
