Musical accompaniment: It Wasn’t God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels by Kitty Wells

A French soldier and photographer Léon Busy took a number of autochrome pictures of Vietnamese women in 1915.

The pictures are really lovely! The clothing is so different from Western styles and the colors are brilliant in autochrome. One of the worst aspects of globalization is the eradication of unique cultural elements like clothing and traditions.

I also want to drop a hint that you’ll soon see an enhancement to Old Spirituals. I can’t give the details yet but I’m sure you’ll like it!
