there was light, was sound, was matter

Hi, I'm Silje. INFP, 9w1 Sx/Sp, Hufflepuff and ~cool like Snufkin's hat. But not really, because nothing is as cool as Snufkin's hat. I like stuff and things (who doesn't), and this Tumblr is where stuff and things go.

London, 1940s, in hi-res color: These photographs were taken using Kodachrome film by Chalmers Butterfield, probably in 1949.

This is beautiful. It’s always hard for me to conceptualize what the “past” looked like, because most pictures are black and white. This, however, really gives a feeling of what things looked like.

Looking at old photos in colour feels kind of surreal. I know the world didn’t just consist of black and white or desaturated colours and that there weren’t polaroid filters obscuring people’s visions. Despite knowing that, my mind still won’t fathom that bright colours actually existed and I just end up gawking for ages.
