20 Very Interesting Photos From The '30s. I love old photos because this is the only way I can really see our history. I like to check out the details such as clothing, decorations or food products because is not only interesting to see their habits but also how these evolved during decades or centuries. The images below were taken in the ’30s in various circumstances from an ice-skating scene and all the way to a legendary image with Stalin fooling around. I hope that you like them as much as I do. Young skater with safety cushion Dutch boy with a pillow strapped on his backside in order to soften the falling on ice while skating.

Cabaret Dancers Cabaret dancers wearing fake mustaches. Einstein with Einstein Puppet The photo was taken by Harry Burnett at Cal Tech in Pasadena where Albert Einstein was teaching. Public Call A photograph of the making of a programme by the BBC about driving errors, taken by Saidman in 1939 for the Daily Herald. Stalin pulling a face at his bodyguard Stalin is captured in this photograph by Lt. Baby Cage. Experimental Light Painting Self-Portraits. Self-portraits aren’t exactly ground-breaking — in fact, the word “selfie” was recently added to the dictionary — but Alex DeForest‘s self-portraits are anything but ordinary. His interesting creations mix light painting techniques with self-portrait photography to create some pretty cool results. We caught up with DeForest via e-mail, and he gave us a little insight into how he creates his experimental portraits: For most of my self portraits I sat on an ice chest in a small spare bedroom full of boxes and shelves.

Typically I line up my shot first, get the focus, then put my remote on the floor so I can trigger it with my big toe. Maybe there is an easier way but I have fun. The artist who inspired him to experiment the way he does include Patrick Rochon and Aurora Crowley, both of which were featured on PBS back in 2011. You might imagine that some of these photos took some serious planning, but for the most part, DeForest enjoys just “winging it,” so to speak.
