The above photo is by Otto Pfenninger taken in 1906.I love how he was able to capture this moment in time and tell a story. I came across this image in a book and just stopped and read the image for a bit. As my eyes wondered around the image I found myself thinking about every person in the photograph and wondering about their lives and thoughts (especially the naked butt one :) WTH?). This ability to share point of view through an image is what I strive to achieve in filmmaking and find this so inspirational when I see it in others images.
"Pfenninger, an early pioneer of colour photography, designed and built a special camera that used 3-colour separated plates to create full-colour photographic images. In the Summer of 1906, Pfenninger took his tri-colour, single exposure camera to the parks and beaches of Brighton and created some of the earliest colour images of the seaside town." http://www.photohistory-sussex.co.uk/index.htm
