here's one for the history/photography fanatics

Nothing to do with Guilds here... but this is one of my favorite sites ever, so I figured I would share it with all my LTG buddies.

If you're not familiar with the photography of Sergei Prokudin Gorsky... He was one of the first dudes to make a whole bunch of really nice color photography. These photos are from his travels from 1909 to 1915 or thereabouts. Amazing stuff. If you click on the mini pictures and then on the next page click the "enlarged image" link, you can get to a larger view of them too.

Enjoy!
