The rest of his photos are floating around on one or more of the Russian chat and photo forums. They can usually be found where the photoshoped combinations of early Soviet Russia are overlaid onto newer photos.

What is really amazing is how these photographs were done (with the B&W and then the three color filters) which is in the article just above the photos. You can see the use of the filters in shots that include bodies of water - very impressive, especially for the time.

I love the clarity and depth of color of pictures of people in native costume in the southern regions like Kazakhstan and what is now Uzbekistan - vivid hues of blues, reds and greens.:thumbsup
