Love the pics of Norway. Visiting there would probably never have been on my radar before, but after seeing those it's now a place I'd be very interested in going to. Unbelievably clear water...

Dear Flowtown,

Randall Munroe says "hi" from 2007. Generally speaking, "credit where credit is due" should probably include credit on the image itself, not just on the heavily monetized site to which you're trying to drive traffic.

Not so much cool pictures, but a story about cool pictures.

162 years later, famous photos restored | cincinnati.com | Cincinnati.Com

Just after lunch on a sunny, September Sunday, two guys stood on a rooftop in Newport and took eight snapshots of Cincinnati's skyline.

For 162 years, no one knew exactly what time of day Charles Fontayne and William Porter took their photos.

Now, they do. Solving that mystery was an added bonus from a recent $40,000 examination, restoration and stabilization of one of the most famous set of photos from the 1840s.

The images Fontayne and Porter captured from the current site of the Newport Aquarium are woven into the fabric of Cincinnati history. And, they changed the way the world looks at photography.

"This is a tour de force, work of art of the highest level. It was a marvel in its day at exhibitions in Philadelphia and London and continues to be held in high esteem today," declared Ralph Wiegandt. As senior project conservator at Rochester's George Eastman House International Museum of Photography, he oversaw the work on the eight historic snapshots.

Each is the size of a large postcard. "But they have the clarity of today's photos," Wiegandt said. "Only the stuff NASA does is better."

The restoration project has been in the works since 1988. The work's owner, the Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County, is raising funds to construct a display and website to let the public view this treasure for the first time in decades. ...

Ksyrup · 08-10-2010, 03:14 PM

That's cool. We just went to the Newport Aquarium about a month ago.

Don't watch movies. Name is familiar, but I couldn't have picked her out of a 2-person hot chick lineup unless I just guessed it correctly. That was just the first safe-but-hot chick pic I saw on another board. The pic I posted kinda looks like Britney Spears, actually.

Kodos · 08-10-2010, 03:43 PM

I guess you never watched 24 either?

Ksyrup · 08-10-2010, 03:51 PM

No. Sports, Investigation Discovery channel, some documentaries, and a few reality shows is about all I watch.

As one of the few that will probably see that pic before it is removed, I would just like to say thank you. Hopefully you do not get a vacation for this. She is obviously just using some sort of exercise equipment on the bottom pic.

I like how in the top one she's checking her butt for bruises before using the equipment, she probably got bruising from the last time and wanted to make sure she recovered.
