I love your images of the day. They're always so darned evocative.

Thanks, Geri. This one's interesting to me because with the ancient, degraded film stock and the hand tinting, it looks almost like a painting.

Absolutely amazing.

At some point I need to read more about the hand-tinting process, because on this one I didn't notice much flickering. How they "kept within the lines" while the lines were changing from frame to frame is a mystery to me.
