Here, via Jason Kottke (via clusterflock), are a series of Kodak Kodachrome color film tests — from 1922.
If my Vintage Pop blog weren’t dormant dead, you can be sure I’d feature this video prominently. I love it. I love looking at the styles and mannerisms, I love the ethereal music, and I love knowing that this footage was shot some years before sound became prominent in film (I’d always thought sound came before color).
Also from Kottke today, this fascinating Slate story about the most isolated man on the planet.
