you wanna see some badass shit from the early 20th century?? The Lumière brothers created the first full color photograph… in fucking 1903! So these dudes dyed potatoes (in red, blue, and green), mashed them down into just pure fuckin’ starch, and used these dyed potato starches as filters to block out/let in certain wavelengths of light. They coated one side of a glass plate with the starches and sensitized the other side with a mixture of gelatin and light sensitive materials (silver nitrate) and loaded these plates in their cameras.. This is a really simple explanation of the process and I may have missed some things
The universe is not cold and uncaring. It’s so easy to believe it is, when bad things happen so often and without mercy. But the fact that the universe created you - whether by chance, or by the hand of a god - means that you are a part of it. You are the universe turned inward, a vessel by which it experiences itself. For all the anguish that consciousness can bring, it also allows for compassion, tenderness, love, joy. Value. You are a creature which gives meaning to meaning.
