If you are interested in photography i seriously recommend you look into the works and life of Sergey Prokudin-Gorsky

He was a pioneer of color film photography in early 20th century and created some absolute bangers

It feels so weird and out of place to see sharp high-detail color photography and think "damn that looks reasonably modern, maybe a few decades old?" and then you're like "oh shit it's imperial russia" xd
